Does the way we consume history determine the path ‎towards our future?‎   Does the way citizens perceive their history, familial and ‎collective, affect the way they live their lives? make plans for ‎their future? and eventually, build their nations one way or ‎another?‎   Is there truth in any of that, or is it some fancy theoretical ‎nonsense?‎
