Eichmann in Jerusalem

" Eichmann in Jerusalem" is a book by Hannah Arendt that analyzes the trial of Adolf Eichmann, a high-ranking Nazi officer responsible for organizing the Holocaust's logistics. Arendt explores how Eichmann, rather than being a fanatic, appeared to be a bureaucrat following orders without personal malice. The book introduces the concept of the "banality of evil," suggesting that ordinary individuals can commit heinous crimes when they conform to authority and bureaucratic norms. It raises important questions about moral responsibility, obedience, and the nature of evil within systems of bureaucratic oppression.
