Historical Conflicts and Reconciliation Efforts between Poland and Germany – Focusing on the Activities of the German-Polish Textbook Commission

Summary/Abstract: The efforts European countries have made over the past one hundred or so years to resolve international conflicts and attempt historical reconciliation through the joint compilation of textbooks, especially the progress Germany and Poland have made on compiling a common history textbook since the 1970s, bear significant implications for Korea. Korea’s reason for studying the German-Polish common history textbook is to discover clues to overcome the upset Japanese history textbooks have been causing in Korea since Korea- Japan relations share similarities with that of Germany and Poland.
