I was reading this book by Camren Manheim a few years ago (Wake Up, I'm Fat!) and she tells a story about talking with her mother. The two of them are comparing notes on an incident that happened between them, and they both have a different memory. The mother sighs and says, "Oh, Camren. It's just ___" and the word is explained to mean, in Yiddish, a version of memory. If I remember correctly this word means that everyone has their own version of events, that each version is just as valid as the other. If anyone knows what this word is, it would be incredibly valuable to me.
