Course/Module description:
The year 2022 marks the 70th anniversary of the Reparations Agreement between Germany, Israel and the Jewish Claims Conference. Ever since 1952, and more so since the end of the Cold War, the Agreement serves many former victims and perpetrators of grave human rights violations as model for dealing with past wrongs. This seminar examines the negotiations that preceded the Agreement, the Agreement itself, and the German-Jewish-Israeli relations that grew out of it. In addition, the seminar studies theoretical and practical aspects of other reparations cases for historical wrongs in Europe since 1945.
Course/Module aims:
The aim of the seminar is to study cases of compensation and restitution in contemporary Europe.
Learning outcomes - On successful completion of this module, students should be able to:
- explain the 1952 Reparations Agreement
- debate various models of compensation
- examine case studies of compensation and restitution in European history since 1945
- integrate into the discussion elements from history, political science, international relations, and law
