The Final Solution Ever since the world has become aware of the Holocaust on the Jews, many historians have debated back and forth of who caused this, why this had happened, and when it was decided. Although the popular opinion is to put all of the blame on Hitler because he was the complete ruler at the time, but through more research there are other debates spoken about and other ideas became even more popular.

He now works as a professor at the University of Southampton. Roseman doesn’t use the Functionalist approach or the intentionalist approach, he had decided to stay neutral. On the one hand, he implies that Hitler’s key motive behind the mass murders had been belief. But then again he also implies that the people who had attended the conference at Wansee were mostly young followers of the Nazi ways. The conference was led by Heydrich in January, 1942.
