Mai 2009 in Rumanien von der Stiftung Versohnung in Sudosteuropa aus Sibiu/Rumanien in Verbindung mit dem Okumenischen Rat der Kirchen abgehalten wurde. Es ging dabei um das Heilen von Erinnerungen – Versohnung zwischen Volkern, Kulturen und Religionen, um interreligiose Beziehungen in Sudosteuropa und Einfluss von Religion und ethnischer Identitat auf die Entwicklung von Werten in Kultur und Gesellschaft. Es ist die Hoffnung der Herausgeber, dass dieses Buch Volker ermutigt, im Gedachtnis ihrer jeweiligen Generation nach den Wunden zu fragen, die verursacht wurden, um an einer zukunftigen friedlichen Generation mitzubauen, die durch ein friedliches Zusammenleben der Volker in Sudosteuropa und der ganzen Welt gepragt ist.
