History Sometimes Forgets

In our ever-changing society, we tend to get overly focused on the future, and discard the past. Who needs it anyway? I said something once to a friend about Anne Frank. He had never heard of her. I was talking to another person about the Tzar Nicholas II, and she thought Russia had always been a Communist state. So I set out on a mission; to teach people a little about history.

I started it on my main account, and my subscribers there enjoy the videos, so I set up this account solely for this mission.
