"Eichmann in Jerusalem: A Report on the Banality of Evil" is a controversial and journalistic analysis of the mentality that fostered the Holocaust. This book was written by Hannah Arendt, a German theorist and philosopher in 1963. Arendt, who was Jewish herself, fled Germany when Adolf Hitler came to power, and after the war, she reported on the trial of Adolf Eichmann for the New Yorker.
Hannah Arendt's authoritative and stunning account of the trial of Adolf Eichmann (one of the leaders of Nazi Germany) was first published in 1963 as a series of articles in The New Yorker. Eichmann was one of the most ruthless Nazi commanders who earned the title of the butcher of Europe. Arendt has described his trial in these articles. This book is a revised version of those articles that were published in 1996 and includes the material that was clarified after the court was held. Also, Arendt's text has directly addressed the debate and controversy about herself. Eichmann in Jerusalem is a great journalistic triumph by an intellectual of unique influence. "Eichmann in Jerusalem" is as poignant as it is informative - a different look at one of the most unsettling (and messy) issues of the 20th century.
In this book, Arendt rooted the problem of evil in the heart of this great crime in human history, looked for its causes, and presented his analysis of it.
