Abstract

Pirjo Korkiakangas presented many interesting and important aspects in her paper - l will here take up some of them. Pirjo Korkiakangas says that from our common memories which many people tell about - cannot be drawn many conclusions as regards the original event. If there are many similar memories it mainly tells you that people tell about things similarly, they have experienced, they interpret and remember them in the same way. People complement their own memories with the features of collective remembering. It is difficult to reach the reality.
