In an age of growing political, national and religious divisions, historical orientation and reckoning with our past are central to dealing with current conflicts. The Körber History Forum focuses on the impact of the past on the politics of the present at a European and global level. Through online and in-person activities, we bring experts and practitioners together, sharing knowledge and enabling dialogue.

Five authors from Germany, France, Poland, Russia, and the United States explain what role different historical experiences play in dealing with current challenges in European security policy. How can historical thinking contribute to a better understanding and handling of the present?
