European Reflection on Totalitarian Regimes
Taking into account the huge number of survivors of the Holocaust - as well as of other tragic events of the 20th century - the European debate must not be reduced to a debate on historical reflection.

Hence, the reflection of totalitarian regimes is by no means a question only for historians, but also for social workers and health-care providers – and not the least for those who take care of human rights.
