History can be deconstructed and re-contextualized to fit just about any agenda.

True. I absolutely agree. Facts can't be forged, yet interpretation can vary - it depends on current system of values.

It's not about re-positioning of "good guys" into "bad guys" bracket. It's just a reflection - an ability to evaluate some things that couldn't be properly evaluated before.

All in aim to LEARN A LESSON - to tell future (& current) generations such things CAN'T happen again.
