Difference between history and memory

Although these are very related terms, there's certain differnces between them.

History is combination of interpretations of facts that took place in the past; many of them can be proved through documents. Many times what we are told about something that happened and there are some differences between what we are told and what really happened. History is a union of investigations, relatively true, with the experience and point of view of the person that tells us the "details" of a past events.

Memory is a more personal opinion of what we remember that happened. Memory talks through the experience achieved during actions that happened in the past and the narrator witnessed. Uses logical appeal during tha communication process to try to prove his living. No one can manipulate our memories because we will always new the truth that sometimes is hidden in history.

In my personal opinion a memory is the remember of our living or someone else's living that takes place in history; meanwhile history is may be manipulated and we need a secondary source to get to know it. Its veracity is not always clearly shown.
