    <body><![CDATA[The idea of the &quot;banality of evil&quot; as grafted onto the rise of Nazism and its subsequent genocidal rampage has some real importance.  However, I hope that this book doesn't ignore the elements of evil that were clearly not just the product of thoughtlessness and bureaucratic impulses.

    <body><![CDATA[Arendt's controversial book details the trial against Adolf Eichmann, who was involved in implementing the Final Solution during World War II. The most interesting aspect of this book, however, is Arendt's reflection on the trial itself, and what it revealed about the state of international law, and...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/55351918">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[If Anne Frank's message was that people are truly good at heart, then Arendt's message would be that good people are capable of doing horrific things. It's basic idea parellels a quote attributed to Edmund Burke: &quot;All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing.&quot; ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/52284520">more...</a>]]></body>

I took a French Lit class called &quot;The Jewish Presence in Modern French Fiction and Film, and by the end of that class I was pretty exhausted by the idea of Holocaust literature.
