Who writes history? --- History is written by the victor, they say, and I find this to be so true: what are taught as facts by some, are considered total falsehoods by others. I am reminded of the post WWI book "All´s Quiet on the Western Front". So many people believed in the absolute sanctity and "rightness" of the victors and in the absolute evil of the defeated. That book brought to light, for many readers, the humanity of the other side and made many question what had been sold as undeniable "facts". I´m not defending one side over another at all, simply stating that, as illustrated in the reading, facts are indeed quite relative and can easily be reframed.
