The question of how peace can be achieved in the face of the current wars in the Middle East and Ukraine is often answered with simplistic narratives and black-and-white thinking that stirs up resentment. The Kleist Museum invites you to a discussion on how complex conflicts can be made more understandable through historical classification and scientific analysis.

On the topic of "Making peace. Myths and Reality":

  • Prof. Dr. Jan C. Behrends
    Holder of the Professorship for Dictatorship and Democracy at the Viadrina and the Leibniz Centre for Contemporary History Potsdam
  • Prof. Dr. Timm Beichelt
    Viadrina Professor of European Studies, Andreas Oppermann, Editorial Director rbb-Studio Frankfurt (Oder)
  • Dr. Adrian Robanus
    Foundation Kleist-Museum

    Moderation

The discussion is a cooperation event of the Kleist-Museum with the Viadrina Professorship for European Economic and Social History and the rbb-Studio Frankfurt (Oder).

Admission is free.

The Kleist Museum is located at Faberstraße 6-7 in Frankfurt (Oder). The event will also be streamed live on the museum's YouTube channel.
