This public lecture by leading German sociologist and historian, Prof. Dr. Uta Gerhardt, commemorated the end of the Second World War and the period of reconstruction that followed it. The lecture was arranged by the Cambridge Transitional Justice Research Network (CTJRN), and held at the Faculty of Law at the University of Cambridge on 8th May 2012.

The recently emerged field of transitional justice strives to develop new frameworks of reference for understanding fundamental socio-political change in societies emerging from periods of violence and oppression. CTJRN is an informal association of Cambridge-based scholars interested in transitional justice. Members hail from a variety of disciplines and sub-disciplines including law, political science, international relations, sociology, philosophy and social anthropology.

The network welcomes as members, speakers and associates, scholars interested in the broad questions of how states and communities (with or without the involvement of international agents and institutions), do – and should – respond to periods in their (often immediate) history characterised by mass victimisation, violent conflict, and political oppression.
