Enduring Legacy

In the documentary Nostalgia of Light, there were a few subtle acts of rebellion described.  While they weren't violent or forceful acts of rebellion, they were acts that would free the prisoners' minds from the terrible conditions they were enduring.  For example, one man constructed a tool to observe constellations to gain a sense of freedom, and to feel far away from where he was.  Another man memorized every inch of the camps he was imprisoned in so that he could sketch them when he got out to prove that the oppression really did happen.  Both of these men are equally effective at using their memory to preserving history, because both of them remember what happened through what they did to try and forget.
