Interesting book, on fine sources, subscription sources accepted AGF, no copyvio obvious. I like the original hook because of the excellent quote, but would like some hint at that it is - at least also - about collective memory, not only my little private forgetfulness. I's approve ALT1 as it is if you prefer that one. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 10:08, 26 November 2020 (UTC)
- TKS for the review. I think ALT1 is perfectly good but for an alternative: ALT0b ... that In Praise of Forgetting makes the case against collective memory: "whereas forgetting does an injustice to the past, remembering does an injustice to the present"?
