“Remembering is an ethical act, has ethical value in and of itself. Memory is, achingly,
the only relation we can have with the dead. So the belief that remembering is an
ethical act is deep in our natures as humans, who know we are going to die, and who
mourn those who in the normal course of things die before us—grandparents, parents,
teachers, and older friends. Heartlessness and amnesia seem to go together” (Sontag,
2003, 115).
