Its a predicament that everyone from Carl Sagan to King Solomon would agree on.
My grandfather once said that as soon as they invented quantum computers with screens that could link to human brains and make movies out of memories, he would do it for us. Never happened, of course. I'm sure some of the WWII stuff would have been terrifying to watch, anyway. But a very long interesting life he had. That computer comment though, was an indirect admission that old guy stories, told multiple times, even to interested folk, still can't convey the full experience. Someone will never 'get it' as well as you would like, and its nobody's fault.
Its why you usually can't show more than five vacation pictures, especially landscape ones, without the intended party indicating that they're bored.
