Eichmann and the Private Conscience Essay: Discussion Prep, Research Roundtable
Martha Gellhorn was at Adolf Eichmann’s trial and reported on it here, but where most standard reporting stops at facts, Gellhorn weaves a magnificent essay about how we as a society can process ’sane evil’ when we are so inclined to dismiss evil doers as ‘insane’.
