    And forgetting the past leads to repeats. We have to acknowledge the good, bad and ugly and stay vigilant.

      That’s generally good advice, but on a broad level it’s completely impossible. There’s no way that everyone can know all of history. We all have to learn little parts at different times in our lives, according to our own priorities and values. Also, quite obviously, forgetting the past does not always lead to repeats.
