À propos de cet audio

Sparking a flurry of heated debate, Hannah Arendt's authoritative and stunning report on the trial of German Nazi leader Adolf Eichmann first appeared as a series of articles in The New Yorker in 1963. This revised edition includes material that came to light after the trial, as well as Arendt's postscript directly addressing the controversy that arose over her account. A major journalistic triumph by an intellectual of singular influence, Eichmann in Jerusalem is as shocking as it is informative - an unflinching look at one of the most unsettling (and unsettled) issues of the 20th century.

Vengeance is mine saith the Lord. Except that vengeance is human, so is the idea promoted here that justice is done when a murderer dies. Perhaps someday we will get past that idea. #Audible1

It seems I am often thinking of Arendt these days, so thought it time to re-visit this work. What stands out, from over 50 years later, is how small Eichmann seems - how petty and bureaucratic.
The peculiar pride he demonstrates in his non-acceptance of bribes reminds me of the East Germans in LeCarre's The Spy Who Came in from the Cold. Banal, and yet more horrifying for that - monsters are, fortunately, relatively rare. Banal, officious bureaucrats? Why, one can see them everywhere.
