From the 10th to the 12th September the second conference on the issue "Coalition of the Revisionists: The System of Alliance around Nazi-Germany during the Second World War. Aims, Motives and Ideas" will take place at the Department of History at the University of Bern (Switzerland).

The programs of both conferences were developed at the Department of History at the University of Bern (unit for modern and contemporary history) and in the frame of the special research project “War Experiences” at the University of Tübingen. The first conference was held in September 2008 at the guest house of the University of Tübingen in Blaubeuren (Germany) and focused on “Territorial Revisionism and Revisionism Inside”.

This second conference will be about social and political actors as well as conceptions and methods of revisionist politics in Europe during the Second World War. It aims to bring together outstanding experts to discuss the results of international research and forthcoming projects about "Europe and the Coalition of the Revisionists." It should be an opportunity to reflect on an often neglected, nonetheless urgent topic of 20th century history: How did the satellites of Germany fit into the vision of a "New Europe," which for many contemporaries seemed to be a realistic aim to be carried on in a coalition with the "Third Reich?"
