Goettingen: The song that brought Europe together
It is 50 years since the signing of the Elysee Treaty by Germany and France, a landmark in European history.
This treaty enshrined reconciliation and formed the core of the new post-war Europe - but it all depended on true reconciliation in the hearts of the people.
And it was a song that really helped to change people's views - Goettingen, released by French chanteuse Barbara in German, in barely post-war Germany.
Listen to the French version of the song here.
