Many Europeans simply do not know what life was like under totalitarian systems, and someone who does not understand totalitarianism has a natural tendency to disregard crimes committed under such systems, seeing them instead as events which took place in the course of history.
Mulţi europeni pur şi simplu nu ştiu cum era viaţa sub sistemele totalitare şi cineva care nu înţelege totalitarismul are tendinţa naturală de a trece cu vederea crimele comise sub aceste sisteme, privindu-le ca pe simple evenimente ce au avut loc de-a lungul istoriei.
