>> if… part of the third generation does not know who #Hitler is, then that collective memory is non-existent

That erosion of #collectiveMemory accelerates in the #thirdGeneration.

#Amnesia actually starts with #ecstasy followed by #complacence in the #secondGeneration, that quickly forgets the grief of the #firstGeneration after a major war in which the #greatestGeneration made the ultimate sacrifice.

#PeaceConstant is 3 gens

Question is there a way to load books, and apps on this without using apple? It's 1st generation, so I'm sure it is long past support - so where would someone even find apps that would work with this ? I'm not sure what firmware is on it - I'm not really an apple person, but it would be nice if it was useful for something. And ebooks seem like something it would be really good at.
