"The first step in liquidating a people is to eraseits memory. Destroy its books, its culture, itshistory, Then have somebody write new books,

manufacture a new culture, invent a new history.Before long the nation will begin to forget what itis and what it wasThe struggle of man against

power is the struggle of memory against

forgetting.Milan Kundera
