Biographical history
All twenty Protestant academies in Germany took a firm anti-apartheid position early on in their 56-year history. When the South African Government of National Unity called for a truth commission to deal with the apartheid past, the Protestant Academy of Bad Boll and Diakonia Council of Churches jointly convened the international conference: “Dealing with the Past/Sichtbar Machen fur die Zukunft”, which was effectively a dialogue about transitional justice and reconciliation in which the comparative situations of Germany and South Africa were examined. Addresses were delivered by Dullah Omar, Alex Boraine, Yasmin Sooka, Alfred Streim, Peter Busse and Herta Daubler-Gmelin, among others.

Materials collected from TRC Archival Audit.
The TRC Archival Audit
SAHA and Historical Papers, University of Witwatersrand have embarked on a project to locate and retrieve records relating to the Truth and Reconciliation Committee (TRC). The project entailed conducting an archival audit of all existing TRC records in order to identify and locate documentation in danger of being lost.
In the process of conducting the archival audit, SAHA and HP located many collections from individuals and organizations that participated in the TRC process. Selections from these materials as well as TRC related material found in the freedom of Information Collection and other pre-existing SAHA and HP collections, were digitized and can be accessed online at http://truth.wwl.wits.ac.za/.
A guide to archival resources relating to South African Truth and Reconciliation Commission can also be found at: http://truth.wwl.wits.ac.za/trc_directory.pdf
