Shoshana Iten vertelt namens de IHJR (Institute for Historical Justice and Reconcilliation) over de projecten die zij internationaal doen op het gebied van interculturele verzoening, bijvoorbeeld aan de hand van geschiedkundig onderzoek en herziening van geschiedkundige onjuistheden en foutieve culturele achtergronden. Aan de hand van de herziene feiten, wordt met alle conflicterende partijen de geschiedenis herschreven om zo tot culturele verzoening te komen.
