"History isn't about other people. History describes you. You could be a Nazi camp guard, and you could enjoy it. If you don't understand this, you know virtually nothing about yourself."
Powerful stuff. Can you imagine if people tried to bury or modify historical facts, especially if they're living or have lived through them? That'd terrible, wouldn't?...
I notice that this has been happening forever. I only first noticed it over the "Hands up, don't shoot" lie, but at least that inspired me to look closer at the old lies, and help me to be aware of the new ones.
