"History's Prism:
Remembering the 1936 Berlin Olympics"

THE COMMON REVIEW

"All historical events, especially those that wound collective memory, tend to undergo rewriting. The past becomes a mutable - and useable - resource...

Most Americans think of tthese Olympics as "Hitler's Games" simply because most of us know its events throught the lens - quite literally - of Riefenstahl's camera."
