| Abstract | When it comes to history, every students seems to understand that at the end of the day it is who has the Gatling gun and who has not that determines who tells the subsequent story and how. There is, nevertheless, a richer way of looking at historical perspective; it derives from perspective in painting, and more precisely from the intersection between modern historical thinking and the discovery of linear projection. Smith discusses the perspectives of the century generated by the Nazi seizure of power and the extermination of the Jews.
