This document addresses the problematical interpretation about the rising of national-socialism, the actions by the nazi party as a political actor and executor of the Shoah. It is inspired in the historiographical methodology presented by Enzo Traverso (2012) in his book: History as a battlefield. Traverso both moderates and debates with different historians who, at the same time, analyze those topics from different perspectives. We will focus in two main issues central to those debates: the rising of the national-socialism, and the Shoah as a remaining impact on the self-representation of the German society. And as an additional assumption, how challenging it is for a historian specialized in genocides, to maintain its objectivity. The period considered for this study is the XXth century. The final goal is: to position teleological interpretations in a current view, related to the existing difficulties of political and social history, about the use of memory as a historiographical resource.
