Abstract
In oral history, "dialogue" with the informant or narrator is the beginning and also the foundation. Those of us planning the symposium shared our interest in oral history, but at the same time we shared the experiences of grief with the dead and the reconciliation. Therefore, we reconsidered our research practice from the perspective of the keyword reconciliation. In short, we wished to develop the practical discussion about the voices, the narratives, the dialogues and the reconciliation through oral history that we should be asking ourselves reflectively in our research practice. In order to realize this aim, each reporter had to talk not only about their research thesis, but also how their oral dialogues and the challenge for reconciliation related to their research practice. Three reporters have replied to these difficult questions earnestly. The audience have got a chance for introspection about the relationship between their own research practice and the reconciliation of each reporter.
