  Elisabetta is from Italy and learned about the Cold War when she was in school. She believes it’s a subject that is not treated enough. She goes on to talk about the current conflict between Ukraine and Russia from 2022. She believes that the current level of violence that surrounds us on a general basis has led to a desensitization. She reflects on the need to discuss this more in general, as it is not something that has a grip on you until you feel it. She does not believe the Cold War has impacted her life, but it did impact the life of her grandpa, who lived in the immediate aftermath of World War 2. She believes his life would have been different, and he would have had more opportunities in a different life.
  She goes on to talk about a universal need we have to reflect upon the past, as everything that happens in the past is bound to repeat itself in the future. Thus, it’s important for us to educate ourselves so we can be better, both for our own present, but also for future generations.
