Arendt führt darin aus, mit dem "Durchschnittsbürokraten" Eichmann habe eben "kein Teufel in Menschengestalt", sondern "ein beliebiger Hanswurst" den Holocaust organisiert. [G] In it, Arendt explains how Eichmann, a "mediocre bureaucrat" had organised the Holocaust, "no devil incarnate", but "an utterly innocuous individual".
