  • Hannah Arendt, Eichmann in Jerusalem: a Report on the Banality of Evil
    Hannah Arendt, Eichmann in Jerusalem: A Report on the Banality of Evil 195 Eichmann in Jerusalem Perhaps the greatest political philosopher of the twentieth century, Hannah Arendt was not a system builder. Rather, she was a thinker, who thought things through carefully, making illuminating distinctions. Ideologies deaden thought. If we do not think, we cannot judge good and evil, and become easier prey to participating in the brutalities made possible by the massive concentration of bureaucratic and technocratic power in the nation-state. And thinking should be set on common ends. Arendt holds before us the civic republican ideal of political action as the highest flourishing of human existence: not labor, which merely meets biological needs, nor the fabrication of objects, but the deeds and speeches performed in the public realm to secure the common good. Both liberal capitalism and communism instead reduce politics to economics. Modernity promised democratic participation in self-government, and what we have instead is a reduction of human intellect to instrumental rationality serving material ends. How did reform and enlightenment lead to ideology and not emancipation? Because the social question overwhelmed the political question: the oikos (the household) swallowed the polis. An only child, Hannah Arendt was born in Wilhelmine Germany (in present-day Hanover) in 1906, though she grew up in Kant’s city of K¨onigsberg, at the time an important center of the Jewish Enlightenment. The family was progressive and secular; they were thoroughly assimilated Jews, though Jews still lacked full citizenship rights there. Her father died when she was seven. Her mother was a committed social democrat and became a follower of Rosa Luxemburg.

To this I cannot say yes or no. I was born in Germany in a little town called Halberstadt, which is in the Harz Mountains in Sachsen-Anhalt, but at the early age of two months my family decided to leave Halberstadt. My father was active in heavy industry in Germany. He was an assistant in one of the many big copper and metal factories in Halberstadt, but two months after I was born we moved to Berlin, so I only knew Berlin while I was in Germany. My father was also one of the leading Zionists of Germany, so I was educated at a German school ironically named after Theodore Herzl— one of the founders and leaders of the Zionist movement: Theodore Herzl School on Adolf Hitler Square.

  • Duties of a Law Abiding Citizen
    H annah A rendt Eichmann in Jerusalem A Report on the Banality oj Evil PENGUIN TWENTIETH-CENTURY CLASSICS EICHMANN IN JERUSALEM Hannah Arendt was bom in Hanover, Germany, in 1906. She stud- ied at the Universities of Marburg and Freiburg and received her doctorate in philosophy at the University of Heidelberg, where she studied under Karl Jaspers. In 1933 she fled from Germany and went to France, where she worked for the immigration of Jewish refugee children into Palestine. In 1941 she went to the United States and became an American Citizen ten years later. She was a research director of the Conference on Jewish Relations, chief editor of Schocken Books, executive director of Jewish Cultural Reconstruction in New York City, a visiting pro- fessor at several universities, including California, Princeton, Columbia, and Chicago and university professor at the graduate Faculty of the New School for Social Research. She was awarded a Guggenheim Fellowship in 1952 and won the annual Arts and Letters Grant of the National Institut? of Arts and Letters in 1954. Hannah Arendt’s books include The Origins ofTotalitarianism, Crisis in the Republic, Men in Dark Times, Between Past and Future: Eight Excercizes in Political Thought, and Eichmann in Jerusalem: A Report on the Banality of Evil. She also edited two volumes of Karl Jasper’sThe Great Philosophers. Hannah Arendt died in December 1975.

  • Adolf Eichmann: Understanding Evil in Form and Content
    H UMAN R IGHTS & H UMAN W ELFARE Adolf Eichmann: Understanding Evil in Form and Content By Matthew S. Weinert Criminal Case 40/61, the Trial of Adolf Eichmann by Harry Mulisch. Philadelphia: University of Pennsylvania Press, 2005. Forty-four years after his execution, the “man in the glass booth” reappeared on the world stage. In early June 2006, the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) released previously classified documents detailing that as early as 1958 it had knowledge of Adolf Eichmann’s whereabouts in Argentina (Shane 2006). Following the lead of the West German government, which passed along its information on Eichmann (he was living under the pseudonym Ricardo Klement), the CIA avoided capturing him presumably to avoid the embarrassing scenario that Eichmann would name ex-Nazis who both held positions in the Adenauer government and who were employed by the spy agencies of multiple governments including the US, the USSR, Britain, West Germany, and France (Kempster 2001). On May 11, 1960, Israeli secret agents kidnapped Adolf Eichmann on the streets of Buenos Aires and, nine days later, transported him to Jerusalem to face trial for crimes against the Jewish people, crimes against humanity, and war crimes. Eichmann’s reappearance must strike the reader as somewhat ironic, somewhat irksome, and somewhat prophetic: for this man who was simultaneously construed as the devil incarnate and recognized as so extraordinarily ordinary that he was easily forgotten by the media and the public both during his trial and soon after his execution, foretold at the gallows that “we shall all meet again” (Arendt 1964: 252).

GENOCIDE: THE TRIAL OF ADOLF EICHMANN AND THE QUEST FOR GLOBAL JUSTICE Matthew Lippman* INTRODUCTION This essay revisits the Israeli prosecution of Adolf Eichmann, a central architect of Nazi Germany's Final Solution of the Jewish question. The Eichmann trial stands as a seminal step in the development of interna- tional human rights and humanitarian law and presents the profound juris- prudential issue as to whether legal standards and procedures may be compromised in an effort to achieve a desired and deserved criminal conviction.' Professor Lon L. Fuller composed the hypothetical, The Problem Of The Grudge Informer, to highlight the central issues raised in Eichmann and in other post-World War H war crimes prosecutions.

  • II the Eichmann Affair
    II The Eichmann Affair Introduction The capture of Adolf Eichmann on 11 May 1960 in Argentina embarrassed the lead- erships of the European Communist countries: Eichmann had committed his crimes mainly on the territory of Soviet-bloc countries. Immediately after his arrest, the Israeli authorities signalled that they were counting on the assistance and co-oper- ation of the Soviet, Polish, Czechoslovak and Hungarian governments in the legal proceedings. The main political decision-making bodies of the concerned parties discussed the various issues arising from Eichmann’s capture, and consulted with each other and their Soviet superiors on several occasions. The documents below were drawn up in the course of these consultations and, much like a case study, they offer insights into the mechanisms that resulted in a uniform policy strategy towards Israel and Jewish-related issues, a strategy that was adapted to Soviet interests. Furthermore, the documents also reveal the extent and nature of policy differences between the various countries, the manner in which they sought to realise their own goals, and how far they were prepared to go in pursuit of such goals. Eichmann’s capture was first mentioned in the Soviet press in a brief report on 25 May 1960.1 It was only a few days after the capture that reports began to appear in the Hungarian, Polish and Czechoslovak press. As the B’nai B’rith analysis in this volume (Document 11) shows, significant differences of emphasis existed. In the latter half of June, the UN Security Council – of which Poland was a member at the time, in addition to the Soviet Union – debated, following a request from Argentina, the breach of Argentinian sovereignty.

  • The Trial of Adolf Eichmann and the Protection of Universal Human Rights Under International Law
    HOUSTON JOURNAL OF INTERNATIONAL LAW VOLUME 5 AUTUMN 1982 NUMBER 1 THE TRIAL OF ADOLF EICHMANN AND THE PROTECTION OF UNIVERSAL HUMAN RIGHTS UNDER INTERNATIONAL LAW Matthew L#ppman * On May 23, 1960, Israeli Prime Minister David Ben Gurion an- nounced to the Knesset that Adolf Eichmann had been apprehended. I have to inform the Knesset that a short time ago one of the greatest of the Nazi war criminals, Adolf Eichmann, who was responsible together with the Nazi leaders for what they caled "the final solution of the Jewish question," . was found by Israel Security Services. [He is] already under arrest in Israel, and will shortly be put on trial under the [Na- zis and Nazi Collaborators Act].' The Eichmann trial has been referred to by one legal scholar as one of the great dramas of legal history.2 The trial is important not only because it involved the prosecution of one of the most infamous of Nazi war criminals, but because it is one of the few contemporary ef- forts to enforce serious human rights violations in a domestic court of law. This article describes and analyzes some of the legal issues raised by the Eichmann trial. Eichmann's role in the "Final Solution" is out- lined, and his escape, apprehension, and the diplomatic controversy * Assistant Professor of Political Science, University of Denver; J.D., American Uni- versity; B.A., M.A., PhD., Northwestern University. 1.
