Abstract: The recent conflict between South Korea and Japan has been one of the worst since 1965. Although most experts believe that the downward spiral in bilateral relations is impossible to reverse, this paper explores the possibility of South Korea forgiving Japan and of Japan following in the footsteps of Germany. A key roadblock lies in the lack of a deep understanding of the past. The politicians, media and scholars could do much to enhance that understanding.
