Memory vs. History
Memory is the ability of retaining information, which leds to something informal, it means it's not written, while history is a formal record of a what has happened during life.
As history is mostly shaped by oral tradition, it is influenced by memory because most of the stories told, were related by those who weren't alive at the moment of speaking, which means that most of the things that happened were forgotten, some were remembered and others were invented because it's almost imposible that everyone remembered everything of the memoirs, therefor history is always shaped by remembrance.
