Abstract
If the purpose of dialogue is to promote reconciliation and harmony, or at least reduce hostility, then clearly dialogue must ofcus on the very issues that divide. One of the major issues that divide is the way the past is remembered. Differences over history constitute a major aspect of the divisions between peoples, societies, and civilizations. This chapter argues that, in light of the significance it has in the divisions between peoples, dialogue on historical memory must be seen as an important ofcus area ofr a dialogue of civilizations.
