For all the formal machinery, Eisenhower was very literally the commander in chief, making the key decisions himself and monitoring closely how they were carried out. Even years after D-Day, when critics needled him for not being on the front lines with the invading forces, he retorted, โI planned it and took responsibility for it. Did you want me to unload a truck?

Michael J. Fox[talking about the Holocaust] 'But to put something in context is a step towards saying it can be understood and that it can be explained. And if it can be explained that it can be explained away.' 'But this is History. Distance yourselves. Our perspective on the past alters. Looking back, immediately in front of us is dead ground.

And one of the historian's jobs is to anticipate what our perspective of that period will be... even on the Holocaust.

Itโs about a natural quality each of us possesses, and which we can further develop in just a few minutes a day.
