  • Avner Less (1916-1987): Das Verhör Von Adolf Eichmann
    Newsletter 37 +++ Februar 2013 Haus der Wannsee-Konferenz Gedenkveranstaltung anlässlich des 71. Jahrestages der Wannsee-Konferenz von 1942 am 19. Januar 2013 im ver.di-Bildungszentrum Clara Sahlberg, Berlin-Wannsee *) Avner Less (1916-1987): Das Verhör von Adolf Eichmann Bettina Stangneth und Alon Less im Gespräch mit Norbert Kampe Norbert Kampe: Ich begrüße Sie herzlich anlässlich des heutigen Gedenktages zum 71. Jahrestag der Wannsee-Konferenz vom 20. Januar 1942. Ganz besonders begrüße ich heute unsere beiden Gäste. Frau Dr. Bettina Stangneth, Jahrgang 1966, hat in Hamburg Philosophie studiert und promovierte 1997 mit einer Arbeit über Immanuel Kant. Im Jahr 2000 verlieh ihr die Philosophisch-Politische Akademie den ersten Preis für ihre Arbeit zum Antijudaismus bei Kant. Ihr Buch »Eichmann vor Jerusalem« hat eine große Beachtung gefunden, es wurde mit dem NDR-Kultursachbuch-Preis 2011 ausgezeichnet. Es ist gerade eine niederländische Übersetzung erschienen, die englische Ausgabe erscheint demnächst. Gestützt auf akribische Archivrecherchen hat Frau Stangneth das Leben und die öffentliche Wirkung des Judenreferenten im Reichssicherheitshauptamt Adolf Eichmann bis zu seinem Prozess in Jerusalem 1961 in seinem Fluchtland Argentinien beschrieben. Seine Äußerungen in Argentinien im Kreise von Gesinnungsgenossen zeigen ihn als ungebrochenen, überzeugten Nationalsozialisten und Antisemiten, der stolz auf seine führende Rolle bei der Ermordung der europäischen Juden war. Im Kontrast zu Eichmanns Lügentheater als kleiner, etwas minder begabter subalterner Bürokrat, das er im Prozess in Jerusalem vorgespielt hat, hat Frau Stangneth ein einzigartiges Psychogramm dieses notorischen Lügners erarbeitet. Der Titel des Buches »Eichmann vor Jerusalem« ist natürlich eine Anspielung auf Hannah Arendts berühmtes Buch »Eichmann in Jerusalem«. Der gerade in deutschen Kinos angelaufene Film über Hannah Arendt hat gerade diese Lebensphase der Philosophin zum Thema.

INTRODUCTION The Association's activities each year highlight the importance of its work and the need for as many people as possible to participate in its different spheres of influence and so contribute in one way or another to uphold the very real respect with which it is held, not only within the Jewish community, but also by many politicians and leaders from many walks of life in this country and worldwide. This regard for the Association was emphasised by Viscount Whitelaw in his address on Human Rights at an AJA Public Meeting this year. It was an acknowledgement by the Leader of the House of Lords and Deputy Prime Minister that the contribution made by this Association is important. (Details of this meeting are reported later). The respect and affection of the State of Israel towards the Association at the many meetings in London and Jerusalem have played a very real part in strengthening understanding between both countries. (A large- scale Public Meeting to discuss some of these problems was held this year with Lord Chalfont). The important work of helping our Jewish brethren in need in other parts of the world is also of concern to the AJA, particularly in the field of education. The absorption and aiding of refugees from countless countries by Israel is something we all must respect. The Association has also been concerned with problems of fanaticism within Great Britain, and has therefore held this year a series of large-scale Public Meetings to draw attention to the dangers of cold- blooded bureaucracy (Meeting on Eichmann, October 1983), and the problems of race relations (Meeting on Human Rights, May 1984 ).

  • 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.

  • Susan Neiman Philosophy Not History
    Philosophy not History I was honored to be invited to open this conference – until I sat down to work on my lecture, and then I was daunted. In the past sixteen years I’d written about Eichmann in Jerusalem three times, and in looking over the last piece I was reasonably satisfied. I had a reading of the book that makes sense of the whole, and answers most of the objections that have been made to it. Nothing I had read before gave me reason to revise it. But I had little taste for repeating myself, particularly when I saw the list of other speakers and knew that some of them, at least, had read or heard what I had to say before. After spending ten years of my life thinking about evil, it seemed an act of sanity to turn my attention to other subjects, and I cursed myself for having accepted the invitation in the first place. When Bettina Stangneth’s Eichmann vor Jerusalem arrived, I groaned. I had ordered the book to make sure I did my homework, but 700 pages of what I expected to be the usual ponderous German academic prose seemed onerous homework indeed. Moreover, earlier works that had been touted as undermining Eichmann in Jerusalem’s central theses have been flawed at best, and driven by a combination of resentment and incomprehension at worst. On my view, Eichmann in Jerusalem is neither journalism nor history but philosophy – quite probably the most important work of moral philosophy produced in 1 the 20th century. New revelations about Eichmann, therefore, might force us to revise Arendt’s conclusions about Eichmann himself, but not the central and radical claims of her book.

  • Arendt Hannah – Eichmann En Jerusalen
    A partir del juicio que en 1961 se llevó a cabo contra Adolf Eichmann, SS-Obersturmbannführer (teniente coronel de las SS) y uno de los mayores criminales de la historia, Hannah Arendt estudia en este ensayo las causas que propiciaron el holocausto, el papel equívoco que desempeñaron en tal genocidio los consejos judíos -cuestión que, en su época, fue motivo de una airada controversia-, así como la naturaleza y la función de la justicia, aspecto que la lleva a plantear la necesidad de instituir un tribunal internacional capaz de juzgar crímenes contra la humanidad. Poco a poco, la mirada lúcida y penetrante de Arendt va desentrañando la personalidad del acusado, analiza su contexto social y político y su rigor intachable a la hora de organizar la deportación y el exterminio de las comunidades judías. Al mismo tiempo, la filósofa alemana estudia la colaboración o la resistencia en la aplicación de la Solución Final por parte de algunas naciones ocupadas, expone problemas que aún hoy día no se han dilucidado -la relación entre la legalidad y la justicia- y cuya trascendencia sigue determinando la escena política de nuestros días.Treinta años después de su publicación, “Eichmann en Jerusalén” sigue siendo uno de los mejores estudios sobre el holocausto, un ensayo de lectura inaplazable para entender lo que sin duda fue la gran tragedia del siglo XX. Hannah Arendt Eichmann, en Jerusalén. Un estudio sobre la banalidad del mal Hannah Arendt (1906-1975) Filósofa alemana de origen judío, se doctoró en filosofía en la Universidad de Heidelberg. Emigrada a Estados Unidos, dio clases en las universidades de California, Chicago, Columbia y Princeton.

  • Malice in Action
    Malice in Action Yaacov Lozowick The enemy stood at the gate. The citizens rushed about in confusion as destruction threatened the city. Those who could fled. But there were air raids around the clock, and the routes of escape became less and less accessible. The more resourceful armed themselves with false papers. Columns of smoke billowing up from the bombed-out buildings mingled with the fumes from burning documents. In the midst of the barbarism of war and devastation, however, there were still a few who managed to remain civilized human beings. In one of the few offices left standing, when the mad rush subsided for a time, there was a pause in the destruction of documents and preparations for escape, and the staff gathered for one final chamber concert. There was a pianist, first violin, and the director struck up the second violin.1 Refined, cultured individuals. Right? Wrong. The place is Berlin; the time is April 1945. And the building is none other than the headquarters of Adolf Eichmann, the bane of the Jews, whose musical abilities relegated him to second fiddle. Eichmann is one of the few Nazi personalities still known to a relatively broad public. One of the reasons for that abiding notoriety was a book written at the time of his trial by Hannah Arendt, one of the eminent thinkers of our century--Eichmann in Jerusalem. A Report on the Banality of Evil.2 Arendt was born in Germany and fled Nazism to become the first woman appointed full professor at Princeton University. Engaged by The New Yorker magazine to cover the Eichmann trial in Jerusalem, she published a provocative book that won a 1 respected place among an educated and enlightened readership in the West.

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.
