The whole banality of evil angle is bs. Eichmann wasn't just a mediocre clerk looking to fit in... he was a total fanatic. Arendt gets way too much glazing.

I never bought the banality of evil premise. An ordinary man does not enthusiastically plan genocide.

It makes me so sad that those survivors were completely ignored until that televised trial. We always have a moral obligation to believe victims the very first time.
