“It is not so much that the actual ‘war history’ left to us from the prewar generation has created barriers between later generations,  
what troubles us is rather the issue of  ‘how to remember, narrate, and pass on’ that history”  
-Liu Jie-  
Nowadays, we have different versions of how to remember, narrate and pass on the story of World War II in many countries. We even have many different names for it. However, each name and story has hidden different historical backgrounds and ideologies. And different versions of perceptions and interpretations in some cases can be the justification of hatred and victim mentality, in other cases, it could imply forgiveness or even collective amnesia.  
This workshop will present case studies elucidating how Japan and China narrate and passes on their version of the history of WW2. This workshop aims to help students develop an understanding of how historical perceptions about WWII are shaped and how they affect contemporary international relations, especially when the perspectives clash.
