“Tarihe saf bakış, tarihçinin, olayları olduğu gibi yazdığını ileri sürüyor. Iggers’a göre, eskiden, tarih, bir yazın türü olarak ele alınıyordu ve günümüzde tarihçinin nesnelliğinden söz edilse de, tarih, bugün de, yazından tümüyle kopuk değil; çünkü tarihyazımı, öykülemeyi; öykülemeyse, kurguyu gerektiriyor. Tam da bunun için, tarih kavramının yanına, ‘tarihyazımı’ (historiography) diye bir kavram da konulmuş durumda. Yine de, eskil tarihçiler, tarihlerine ders çıkarılacak öykücükler koyarken; bugün, bu, tarihçide olması beklenen nesnelliğin dışına taşmak olarak değerlendiriliyor.”

“At the center of my life, I have found new hope and a renewed direction. I feel the communal surge of spirit amidst a group of people who had, like us, lost theirs to some degree in the places they fled. I will not allow Theo to bring me down. I will lift him up.”
