and that is what makes him terrifying

“Arendt’s point is not that Eichmann’s thinking is evil, but simply that he does not think, and that this is what makes him terrifying. In this respect, an intriguing parallel can be drawn between the surprise exhibited by many of the accused, who, even three years after their arrest, really did not seem to understand what they were doing there, and who continued to see themselves – like Eichmann – as good family men and fathers.”
