History Can Be Destroyed<\/h2>\n<p>One example of cultural destruction occurred\u2064 in 1981 when the\u200c Jaffna Library in Sri Lanka was \u200bburned down,\u2062 destroying\u200b over 97,000 books and irreplaceable manuscripts.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>This\u2063 library was a significant repository of \u2064Tamil culture in Asia.<\/p>\n<div class=\"my-5\">\n<h2>2. History Can Be Forgotten<\/h2>\n<p>Consider the case of Yaroslav Hunka, a Nazi Waffen SS Officer who received\u200b a standing ovation\u200c in the Canadian parliament for killing Russians in World \u200cWar II.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Have these parliamentarians forgotten that\u2063 Canada fought alongside Russia against the\u2062 Nazis in World War II?<\/p>\n<div class=\"my-5\">\n<h2>3. History Can Be\u200b Defaced<\/h2>\n<p>One example is the defacement\u200d of the statue of \u200cRobert the Bruce, known\u2064 as Braveheart, with graffiti calling\u200c him a &#8220;racist\u200d king&#8221; during the Black Lives Matter movement.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Those who defiled the statue \u200cseem to\u2064 have \u200deither overlooked or\u2064 forgotten that Bruce had\u200c no involvement \u2062in slavery, as Scotland did not have a slave trade until after his death \u200din 1329.<\/p>\n<div class=\"my-5\">\n<h2>4.\u2062 History Can Be Cherry Picked<\/h2>\n<p>While \u200bthe black\u200b slave trade is widely acknowledged, the lesser-discussed white slave trade involved white Christian slaves \u200dsold into the Barbary slave trade, with many Irish people in the Caribbean being descendants of these slaves.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The Ottoman slave\u2062 trade under Muslim rule also included European captives, some of whom were taken as children as part of a \u2062blood tax.<\/p>\n<div class=\"my-5\">\n<h2>5.

History Can Be Embellished or Blurred<\/h2>\n<p>In the United States, the portrayal of \u2063the Civil War in textbooks varies depending on the location of the school.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>For example, the assassination of President Abraham Lincoln by\u2062 John Wilkes \u200cBooth in 1865 was either ignored or downplayed in Southern textbooks, while\u200d Northern textbooks \u2063highlighted a broad conspiracy involving many Southerners.<\/p>\n<p>However,\u200d in the 1930s, some \u200cNorthern \u200dtextbooks began to dismiss this conspiracy and \u2063portray Booth as insane.<\/p>\n<p>Rewriting history is reminiscent of the Stalinist \u200dbureaucracy that erased or demonized leading figures \u200dlike Leon Trotsky, often distorting the truth.<\/p>\n<p>Oscar \u200bWilde&#8217;s words from &#8220;The Picture of Dorian\u2064 Gray&#8221; are relevant \u200bin describing how those in power can manipulate history: <strong>\u201cThe world \u2062is changed because you are \u200dmade of ivory and gold.\u2064 The curves of your lips\u2063 rewrite history.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<div class=\"my-5\">\n  <em>Views expressed in this \u200barticle are \u200dopinions of the author \u2062and do not\u2063 necessarily reflect the views of The \u2063Epoch Times.<\/em>\n<\/div>\n<p> <\/p>\n<h2> What role does the preservation and protection \u200bof historical records\u2063 play in challenging attempts to erase or \u200brewrite\u2063 the history of the transatlantic slave trade or\u200b racial discrimination<\/h2>\n<p><span>  In the transatlantic slave trade or any form \u2062of racial discrimination.<\/p>\n<div class=\"my-5\">\n<h2>4.
