Abstract
History is a fascinating phenomenon. Events happen, people live through them, time passes, and much is forgotten. Then, efforts are made to recall, describe, and analyze those same events and the people involved. Too often, memories are short and recollections are faulty. As a result, what is called history may be an odd re-creation of what actually happened. When such reconstruction of reality takes place, it may be too late to set the record straight.Keywords
