France-Germany: ‘Signed and sealed’

To celebrate the 50th anniversary of the signing of the Elysée Treaty that sealed the post-war reconciliation between France and Germany, two major dailies from both countries, Süddeutsche Zeitung and Le Monde (see front page opposite) have published a common edition. For its part, SZ, the only German daily to devote its front page to the topic, explains that the cooperation between the newspapers was inspired by Konrad Adenauer who remarked that “the image of the other has to be rediscovered again and again”.
