For other uses, see Memory hole (disambiguation).

A memory hole is a fictional device for destroying historical evidence in George Orwell's 1949 dystopian novel Nineteen Eighty-Four. In the novel, the Party's Ministry of Truth systematically erases inconvenient historical documents, in effect, re-writing history to match the ever-changing state propaganda.
