The Forgotten Legacy (Vision ) of Robert Schuman

THIS STORY HAS BEEN RETOLD to commemorate the sixtieth anniversary of the Schuman Declaration,
delivered May 9, 1950. That occasion was perhaps the defining event for modern Europe, more so even than the dramatic fall of the Iron Curtain. For it laid the foundations for the European house in which today half a billion Europeans from 27 nations live together in peace, a fact unprecedented in history.
Yet it remains a story largely unknown in the Englishspeaking world, and in much of Europe.
In France and Germany, the nations where most of this story was acted out, the values and vision behind it are often neglected or forgotten.
In Scandinavia, most are unaware of the roots of the European movement with which their nations are
engaged as members or partners.
In Central and Eastern Europe, the origin of the welfare of this ‘community of peoples’, of which their nations are newer members, is frequently misunderstood.
Europe’s future will depend on our ability as Europeans to reconnect with this story and the values it teaches.
