Shortly thereafter, New York mayor Rudolph Giuliani addressed the significance of retaining and re-viewing the photographs, film, and video of the tragedy. “I think we’re going to have to remember September 11 in its reality,” he remarked. “If you censor it too much, if you try to find too many euphemisms for what happened, then you rob people of the ability to actually relive it and therefore motivate them to prevent it from happening in the future.”
