東北アジアの『和解』に向けて 1 : ベルリン・ワルシャワ・アウシュヴィッツ 『和解』への取り組み現場の聞き取りから

志水 紀代子

My 2006 joint research project with colleagues at my university involved conducting research into the actual history education situation in Germany._It was my first time to research this,_and the results were put together in a paper entitled "Report of the Actual History Education Situation in Germany." Later, in 2007 the research topic was "Japan and Germany:_A Comparative Study of their Post-war History Education and Improvement of Relations with Neighboring Countries," and for this,_two studies were conducted._One was on the activities of the committee for German and Polish mutual textbooks. The other was on what kind of measures East and West Germany took concerning the teachers and children in former East Germany at that transition period when the nation was reunified,_with East Germany basically becoming absorbed into West Germany,_following the 1989 collapse of the Berlin Wall. I was in Berlin for about two weeks, from February 16 to February 28, 2008, and during the first half of that time, was able to interview Dr.Roland Jerzewski, who is a history teacher at the gymnasium school, is working hard to improve the relations between Germany and Poland, and also serves as state policy coordinator._I was able to hear from him in detail about the reconciliation program that is being carried out. Furthermore, I visited the Georg Eckert Institute for International Textbook Research and, besides meeting the vice director, Dr.Falk Pingel, spent more than two hours hearing in detail from Dr.Robert Maier, who is a member of the project committee, and Thomas Strobel, a researcher at the institute, about the state of progress with the German and Polish mutual textbooks project. For reference, they also gave me a copy of the report on the project, entitled "Deutschland und Polen im zwanzigsten Jahrhundert." It is a copious 432-page report, and I was informed that it had already been translated into Korean. Before giving me that report, they showed me into the library._Quite a number of Japanese textbooks from pre-war times to the present were in the collection, but unfortunately they were stored in an unorganized state, and were not in condition to be put to use. Also, I was able to hear the frank view of Dieter Haase, who currently is working for the teacher's association but spoke from his perspective as a former history teacher at a high school in East Berlin, about the reality of the educational scene before and after the collapse of the Berlin Wall. The second half of my time in Berlin was spent conducting interviews at the educational support center of the Berlin Institute of Technology, and specifically the section therein which creates the overall programs_of the university but mainly is involved with creating reeducation programs for the teachers. I was able to interview people who are especially involved with educational methodology for teachers,_re-education programs regarding the Jewish issue, social education programs for adults, and so on, and also people responsible for the office affairs of the center. My good friend, Dr.Monika Rummler, who is involved with the creation of the programs at this center, arranged this for me. I moved from Berlin to Warsaw on February 28, and there, I visited the Resistance Museum(insurrection museum) that was just built in 2004. Afterwards,_I inquired to a professor at the University of Warsaw named Wlodzimierz Borodziej, about how the establishment of such an insurrection(resistance) museum would influence the German and Poland mutual textbook project, and he responded that the intent of the museum was to have people understand the brutality of war. In Auschwitz, I observed a high school class_on history, after which I had an informal talk with the school principal and history teacher. The history teacher, in particular, also was a tour guide at Auschwitz, apparently often serving as guide for Korean groups. The Korean relation to Japan is similar to the Polish relation to Germany, and I was asked various questions related to that shared perspective. This completes my summary of my report concerning this time's research interviews. Through the research, however, bigger questions rose to the surface concerning what the conditions are to achieve reconciliation in East Asia. For this time, I would like to delve further into the issues by focusing on the research interviews that were conducted in Berlin during the first half of the study.
