Hannah Arendt (1906 - 1975), philosopher, student of Heidegger and Jaspers, who emigrated in 1933 from Germany to France, and from there to America in 1940, because of racial persecution. In 1961 he follows, as correspondent of The New Yorker, the Eichmann trial in Jerusalem. The report will raise a huge wave of protests and a heated debate especially by the international Jewish community, because of the particular reading Arendt, Jewish and German, it gives the phenomenon of the Holocaust and anti-Semitism in Germany. Otto Adolf Eichmann was cast as logistically implement the "final solution", ie the extermination of the Jews in order to make judenrein German territories. Escaped at the Nuremberg trials, refugee in Argentina, was captured by the Israeli Secret Service, tried to Jerusalem and sentenced to death.
Hannah Arendt observes the machinery of justice in Israel with unrelenting critical eye. Do not hesitate, Jewish, to investigate the moral and direct responsibility of the Jewish people in the Holocaust tragedy nor to attribute to the entire German people heavy responsibilities under the Nazis and hypocritical guilt during the post-war reconstruction. Turns out that is the lie elected system of social life and politics the main architect of the Nazi tragedy, the lie as an existential strategy implemented primarily against themselves: the ability to deny the truth is known the criminal mechanism that brings evil to appear trivial, unknowingly acted by people who, like Eichmann, sincerely declare amazed attribution of this responsibility. Those who have escaped this mechanism show with their lives, their example and often their sacrifice, that that judgment that exempt us from committing evil does not come from a particular culture, but by the ability to think. And where this ability is absent, there is the "banality of evil." The political and social sense, as well as educational, this operation, which was created to the classroom and develops as a lecture, therefore lies not only in historical and philosophical content to which reference is made above all a moral example offered by Arendt observer: the relentlessness model being painfully objective and severely stress the unspoken truth by both parties to the proceedings. the passionate and polished look of Arendt is a lesson extremely topical.
