Neueste wissenschaftliche Erkenntnisse zeigen, wie veränderbar die Erinnerung ist: Nicht nur die individuelle Erinnerung, sondern auch die kollektive. Ein Musterbeispiel dafür ist der katholische Attentäter Guy Fawkes, der England zurück in den alten Glauben bomben wollte. Seitdem seine Pläne am 5. November 1605 gescheitert sind, feiern das die Engländer jedes Jahr mit Umzügen, bei denen Guy-Fawkes-Puppen in Flammen aufgehen.
