History - is basically defined as a representation of what happened in the past. It is presented in an organized manner. Its function is to be analyzed, learned from, and used to identify patterns in an organized fashion.
Memory - is basically a personal collection of events that have happened and affected you in some form or another. It is something that has affected you, that you remember from a personal event. Its function is to be used in a personal manner. It aids in building a personal identity.
As students, we need to learn from history. We need to challenge history. We need to analyze the history. We need to find the truth out for ourselves. We should not accept history on face value.
The History We Remember By Penelope Mornington presents this case very well. She was a known Grindelwald supporter. She believed that Grindelwald was a hero. She taught students to believe whatever Grindelwald did he meant to save the world. Muggles meant to destroy the world. Words can be taken out of context.
