Gernika and Germany. A history of reconciliation. Michael Kasper.

Gernika Gogoratuz as Peace research center is dedicated to making a contribution to the symbol of Gernika. Therefore we share the opinion of the professor of contemporary history Maria Jesús Cava Mesa who conducted a research called “Memoria colectiva del bombardeo de Gernika” in 1996.
She also assigned Michael Kasper with the task to perform a study which is now subject of the book “Gernika and Germany. A history of reconciliation”.
