If we rid ourselves of all the proof of the atrocities of our past then in the future we will know longer have the reminders or the proof that they truly did happen.. In today's world if you can't prove it most will argue it didn't happen. What then pray tell will we use as our crutch or our excuse for the failures we're sure to face? If we ask WHY do you want to destroy that statue or burn that book the answer is always, we no longer want the memory of our oppression, yet you passionately continue to support the very party that willingly went to war, killed their own brothers, fathers or sons and died by the 100's of 1000's to keep you oppressed. How does that not remind you of your past oppression?
