Yes, that one’s actually about Pompeii and Herculaneum. But I think it fits for war destruction, too. In light of current events, it was the first thing that came to mind. (It also fits, ghoulishly, for the white-phosphorus attack from the last time Tel Aviv threw a tantrum.)
And just for good measure:
Fear doesn't travel well; just as it can warp judgment, its absence can diminish memory's truth. What terrifies one generation is likely to bring only a puzzled smile to the next. --Arthur Miller, "Why I Wrote 'The Crucible'", The New Yorker, October 21, 1996
