Anamnesis

[Slava]

According to my anamnesis, we haven't had this word before.

From answers.com:
n., pl. -ses (-sēz).

1. Psychology. A recalling to memory; recollection.
2. Medicine. The complete history recalled and recounted by a patient.

[Greek anamnēsis, from anamimnēskein, anamnē-, to remind : ana-, ana- + mimnēskein, to recall.]

There's lots more there, I just didn't want to copy the whole page.

From merriam-webster.com:

Etymology:
New Latin, from Greek anamnēsis, from anamimnēskesthai to remember, from ana- + mimnēskesthai to remember — more at mind
Date: circa 1593

1 : a recalling to mind : reminiscence 2 : a preliminary case history of a medical or psychiatric patient

No tomatoes here; most of us thrive on puns!

Actually, it seems to me that anamnesis could apply on a much smaller scale than memoirs, like a shopping list, or that string on your finger that you stare at because you've forgotten what it was supposed to remind you of ...
