Although he did not belong to the highest
leadership circle, Adolf Eichmann is commonly referred to as the “architect of
the Holocaust.” Who was this man? Did he really just represent the “banality of
evil” as author Hannah Arendt so famously expressed it? Or was he indeed a
fanatical and utterly brutal Nazi, as recent historical research suggests? 65
years after his capture in Argentina, German Historian Anette Isaacs presents a
compelling discussion of the decade Eichmann spent in Buenos Aires, which will
reveal crucial insights into the mind of one of the world’s most callous mass
murderers.
