Frida:	Some people regard history as a stucco wall that can be painted over or white-washed.
Satoru:	Others conceptualize it as indelible stone.
Dmiritri:	To me, nothing human is indelible. Sooner or later, everything turns to dust . . . .
Frida:	(Shrugging her shoulders) Where does such nihlistic thinking lead?
Ying:	I'm not sure.
Frida:	(ignoring that comment). At any rate, all too often, those in power want to "rearrange" past events to fit present agendas.
Dmiritri:	Fer sure – and that's precisely the reason many voices are needed to make history alive. History should never be the voice of any single group or culture, but an ongoing polyphony.
Ying:	Well, it's hard to contend with the strident chorus of many voices. I suspect some form of simplification & myth is needed.
Frida:	For whom? And for what purposes? Without reflecting deeply on this, we are but puppets. . .

"Anyone who closes his eyes to the past is blind to the present.
Whoever refuses to remember inhumanity is prone to risks of new infection."
