“Without memory, there is no culture. Without memory, there would be no civilization, no society, no future.”
— Elie Wiesel

Simplified Meaning:
Memory is like a giant book that holds all the important events and lessons from the past. If we didn't have memory, people wouldn't remember what happened before, and we wouldn't learn from our mistakes or successes. Think about how we remember holidays, traditions, and stories from our family. These memories help us feel connected and understand who we are. In the same way, countries remember their history to build laws, traditions, and ways of living together. If nobody could remember anything, we would keep making the same mistakes and never improve or grow as a society. So, paying attention to our memories and learning from them is like using a map to find our way into a better future.
