"For our history to be a source of encouragement we have to know our
history. The story that we tell ourselves about our history and our time
matters. Because our hopes and efforts for building a better future are
inextricably linked to our perception of the past it is important to
understand and communicate the global development up to now. A positive
lookout on the efforts of ourselves and our fellow men area are a vital
condition to the fruitfulness of our endeavors. Knowing that we have
come a long way in improving living conditions and the notion that our
work is worthwhile is to us all what self-respect is to individuals. It
is a necessary condition for self-improvement."
