The history of Germany has always been closely connected to that of Poland. Recently the former enemies have become partners, their present relationship, however, still being overshadowed by conflicts and prejudices from the past. The seminar focusses on the intertwined history of the two countries and gives an overview of the current situation since the fall of communism and the introduction of the free market economy. Visits to historic sites like the German Reichstag in Berlin, Cracow old town, the former Auschwitz concentration camp, or the Warsaw Ghetto round off the picture. Participants will also be able to experience some of the cultural life of the host cities Berlin, Cracow and Warsaw.
