A Podcast On Memory: A Polite Word For Liar By The Revisionist History
In his book Kafka on the Shore, Haruki Murakami tells us that “memories warm you up from the inside. But they also tear you apart”. He promises us that “no matter how much suffering you went through, you never want to let go of those memories”. To a large extent this is true. But can we trust our memory? Can we trust anyone's memory?
In this brilliant The Revisionist History podcast, host Malcolm Gladwell opens the doors to an early morning of July 1945, where a group of Allied soldiers raided a rooming house full of Nazis in Munich ... But, were they Nazis or knitting old women? Did it end up in a brutal gun battle or did they just leave? Was it April 1946 or June 1945?
The two men involved (a dashingly handsome undercover spy, and the world’s most famous harmonica player, as Gladwell describes them) argued for the rest of their lives about who remembered what correctly and what really happened on that raid.
In two episodes, Gladwell dives into the mysteries of the mind, raising the question: until what point are memories just made up fantasy?
