Read this excerpt from "hope, despair, and memory" by elie wiesel and answer the question.
of course we could try to forget the past. why not? is it not nature for a human being to repress what causes
him pain, what causes him shame? like the body, memory protects its wounds. when day breaks after a
sleepless night, one's ghosts must withdraw; the dead are ordered back to their graves. but for the first time
in history, we could not bury our dead. we bear their graves within ourselves. for us, forgetting was never an
option.
