Eichmann w Jerozolimie

Wprowadzenie

Arendt attended the 1961 trial of Adolf Eichmann in Jerusalem for The New Yorker, which published her report in five instalments in early 1963; the book appeared that May and was expanded with a postscript in 1964. She depicts Eichmann not as a fanatical antisemite but as a careerist who spoke in clichés and seemed unable to think from anyone else’s standpoint. Her remarks on the role of the Jewish councils in the deportations caused a bitter controversy; Gershom Scholem accused her of lacking love for the Jewish people. Later research on Eichmann’s own writings and interviews from his Argentine exile has questioned her picture of him.
