In the news last week...
It was reported that Kim Jun-Yeop has died. He was the last living Korean to have fought against the Japanese colonizers of Korea.
Last year, John Babcock died. He was the last living Canadian to have fought in World War I.
What does it mean, that the last living people to have fought in these painful conflicts has died?
Are our societies at peace now, finally letting go of painful memories of times long past?
Or are we losing the memory of something that we should be remembering?
