The Final Solution is a subject that has changed in its teaching since it emerged, and will certainly be taught differently in fifty years' time. As time passes and events fade from memory, our view of them changes. Some aspects of an event become more emphasized as time passes, others are forgotten. What will be remembered about the Final Solution will be what places it in the context of World War II and the events that led up to it. In fifty years, there will not be a single person left who was alive at that time. of the Final Solution, not to mention anyone who participated in it in any form. This lack of first-person accounts or memories of these events will make them more detached from people's minds than they are now. Fifty years after the events happened, we find them already slipped into the past, as two generations have been born since then, and with each subsequent generation they feel more detached from the events than the previous generation. There will no longer be anyone shouting that what they experienced must be remembered, so that it never happens again. It is a sequence of events that will be studied with increasing academic detachment, as it falls more within the realm of history than public consciousness and awareness. Much to Primo Levi's chagrin, he is in fact slipping into the past, and will certainly do so in fifty years. The passage of time causes one to apply events, however closely linked to a people or culture, in a less personal way, and identify less with them. It is easy, even within living memory, to forget great events that happened, let alone a hundred years after they occurred, when there are no original survivors left. In J'Accuse, Je......middle of paper......died down to the last detail, whether they "didn't know" it was happening, or whether it was all planned from the beginning, and was part of the reason why Hitler was elected. Fifty years from now, the teaching of the Final Solution will be very different from what is taught now. With no survivors on either side still alive, events will have passed entirely into the past, and it will not be a question of dealing with events, of minimizing guilt or hatred, but of studying the past. Less personalization will occur, as each subsequent generation feels more and more detached from involvement with the events of the Final Solution. There will no longer be anyone who can explain themselves or the actions of their people. Only written records and accumulated knowledge will remain, and the Final Solution will fall into the realm of History where document research provides the only insight available..
