The Jewish-Christian dialogue between generations after 1945 Moving from Vergangenheitsbewältigung to equal dialogue?

Abstract

The structure of historical narratives after the Second World War and the Shoah are often based on the generations model as a category of historical experience. This article focuses on the Jewish-Christian dialogue in discussion groups in Germany and Austria after 1945 and posits that dialogue participants can represent different generations in the form of communities of shared experience. These common experiences determined their engagement in dialogue and still continue to do so.
