When history is erased, people's moral values are also erased.

When history is erased, people's moral values are also erase

Summary

This quote suggests that the erasure of history, or the deliberate omission or distortion of historical events, can have detrimental consequences on people's moral values. History serves as a record of past actions, experiences, and mistakes, providing valuable lessons and insights into our collective humanity. When history is erased, it becomes easy for individuals and societies to forget or misinterpret important ethical principles and lessons learned from the past. Without an understanding of history, people may lack the context and knowledge needed to make informed decisions, ultimately leading to a erosion of moral values.
