Both films‚ ‘The Magdalene Sisters’ (Peter Mullan‚ 2002) and ‘The Lives of Others’ (Florian Henckel von Donnersmarck‚ 2006)‚ perform a public function of enabling their viewers to work through the legacy of traumatic Irish/ German history. Critically discuss the statement.

The debate of Germanys responsibility for the outbreak of war first began with the charge of war guilt given in Article 231 of the Versailles Treaty.
