Summary/Abstract: In November 2024, the Lichtenštejnský Palace in Prague hosted a major conference on the theme of "(Non)Reconciliation with the Communist Past in the European Context," organized by ÚSTR in collaboration with various international institutions. The event featured nearly sixty speakers from around the world, addressing the challenges of confronting communist legacies. Key topics included the continuity and discontinuity of law post-1989, the role of memory in politics, and the impact of historical injustices on contemporary society. Panels explored the experiences of different countries, the importance of education in modern history, and the portrayal of communism in film. The conference underscored the ongoing relevance of these issues and the need for continued dialogue and research.
