Since U.S. Secretary of State James F. Byrnes delivered his Speech of Hope at the Stuttgart Opera House on September 6, 1946, the U.S. and Germany have stood together through times of war, global strides for human rights, and the protection of freedom and democracy across the globe. Political contenders have also changed the stakes; with each change in Chancellor or President, new policies impact relations.

But what significance remains? What impact does it have on Europe? How does Germany benefit? We will take a deeper look into the Speech of Hope, highlight events that illustrate the highs and lows of the relationship, and discuss the challenges of modern times.

This presentation is part of our DAZ for Schools program and open to all students, teachers, and everyone who is interested.
