The developments of recent years in the German-speaking world and in Europe have had a significant impact on social cohesion. How we treat each other and where all of this is leading are among the pressing questions that currently concern people. Both politics and the media are increasingly addressing what still holds us together. Answers to this question can also be found in the writings of well-known authors and about prominent figures in Topos volumes, such as Anselm Grün, Leonardo Boff, Elie Wiesel, Edith Stein, and Erwin Kräutler.
