After 60 years since the Second World War, Europe faces again the dilemma of building a common home or return to national states and the possible threat of dismantling the European order. At that time, three new generations of Europeans deprived of memory the horrors of war were born.

What are the roots of the European culture? This last question is essentially important from the perspective of the influx into Europe a large number of refugees from countries of different cultures.
