Abstract:	All twenty Protestant academies in Germany took a firm anti-apartheid position early on in their 56-year history. When the South African Government of National Unity called for a truth commission to deal with the apartheid past, the Protestant Academy of Bad Boll and Diakonia Council of Churches jointly convened the international conference: “Dealing with the Past/Sichtbar Machen fur die Zukunft”, which was effectively a dialogue about transitional justice and reconciliation in which the comparative situations of Germany and South Africa were examined. Addresses were delivered by Dullah Omar, Alex Boraine, Yasmin Sooka, Alfred Streim, Peter Busse and Herta Daubler-Gmelin, among others.
