I disagree with this "fall into the memory hole of history".
It creates a "winner writes history" timeline, and alas US is projecting a lot of culture to the world.
Schindlers List and others are not even possible in this context, or you introduce a thin line pushing it arbitrarily.
Furthermore think about the open allowed hate speech in USA that is banned in Germany due holocaust denial. All no problem according to US norms.
I am much more for putting it into context.
