History is not merely that which has happened in the past; it is also what people think has happened-present meanings of what has passed. Narratives we construct about the past give meaning to history, as well as reflect the ways in which we understand ourselves. Something that holds great meaning for us one day might be forgotten later on, just as that which seemed trivial at one time might become meaningful at another time. Our memories continually reflect our understandings of our past in relation to our understandings of the present
