Historical events and our understanding of them shape our understanding of today's world.

The interdisciplinary authorship of this volume focuses on the connection between past and future.

A bold and unusual publication whose approaches and themes extend from biographical experiences via intergenerational exchange to the discussion of current social phenomena.

To what extent does (lack of) knowledge of the past influence our view of the present and our tales of the future?

Authors from the realms of history, art, philosophy, journalism, poetry, cartoons, and film investigate complex everyday reality in history and the present and direct their attention towards the shifts in political hegemonies that lead to ostracism, denigration, and destruction.

They have explicitly chosen an international perspective, which shows that social polarisation and radicalisation are not phenomena limited by national boundaries but are universal social manifestations in a globally interlinked world.
