Translator disclaimer

This article considers “the other side of the story” from a historical and social-psychological perspective. Specifically, it describes how our inability to digest the Holocaust continues to influence present-day history in Europe and the Middle East. The author discusses how stories, lies, and propaganda can shape our understanding of reality and demonstrates how telling our stories and listening to those of others can enhance understanding and communication. Elements of a dialogic psychotherapy are presented with wider implications for life as dialogue.
