What Neil MacGregor's exhibition on German history reveals about the Brits | Arts | DW.COM | 07.10.2016

"Memories of a Nation," an exhibition on Germany and how it is viewed in Britain, first shown at the British Museum is now being shown in Germany at Martin-Gropius-Bau, from October 8 to Jan. 9, 2017. It gives Germans insights into their own history and how it is viewed in other countries such as Britain. The original exhibition was prepared from objects at the British Museum in 2014, to go with a BBC Radio 4 Series and a book by Neil MacGregor, who came up with the concept in the context of British-German relations. MacGregor, a former director of the British Museum, is now leading a cultural history museum in Berlin called the Humboldt Forum. About 200 objects were chosen to cover 600 years of German history. One of these objects fascinated the British- a hand wagon used by Germans expelled from former German territories to carry their belongings. About 14-16 million Germans were expelled. Other aspects that were shown are the cities of Konigsberg, Strasbourg, Prague and Basel, formerly having German history that has since faded. Also shown the fragmentation of Germany with many states, and the idea of decentralized government, compared to a more centralized Britain.

Merkel sees Britain's role in Europe as providing a strong counter balance to the statism in France and sees Britain as offering a different aspect that Europe needs. She told the German parliament in June 2014 she finds it unacceptable the way German opinion sees Birtain's role as not necessary for Europe.

The long road ahead for the Brexit negotiations between British prime minister Theresa May and German chancellor Merkel- talks reflect no clear goal
07/12/2016
Elections in Germany and France in 2016 mean that the negotiations will be tough as Germany and France will not want to appear to be making concessions in migration and free movement and basic ideas of the founders of the European Union. May's earlier experience as a tough negotiator may not count for much considering the dynamics on the other side. The only relief for all is that it is not Andrea Leadsom.

We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
