What is Collective memory?

Historical books and archives only represent a negligible part of history. The real history is hidden in the people´s memory, experience, testimonies, and human stories. It was often not possible to compound history from these shattered pieces, as the individual parts were irrevocably lost when the respective person died.

Today, however, we do have this chance.

Can you remember how many times you decided to start writing your memoirs, and the memoirs of your beloved, yet you always postponed the idea for later?

Collective (historical) memory has been created to store these memoirs, organize them according to the title, the place, the time, the topic, and the language, and to make them available for all the people around the world. Collective (historical) memory is our collective memory, the true history, the library of historic testimonies.

It is not important, whether the story concerns the whole society or just an individual, whether it is about love, misfortune, real events or special experiences. It should be an interesting story, beneficial for future generations.

With respect to our past, with love to our ancestors, and as testimony to future generations.
