The author - Gordon Brown's advisor for the Diaspora is contradicting to Hannah Arendt, who most crucial part of the trial spend in Switzerland skiing with her husband. The main procurator - as Arendt called him 'die Ostjude' was not prepared to the process very well, but from other point of view the case and the verdict was obvious and the one and only. Many witnesses couldn't be called from Konrad Adenauer's Germany, because they would be arrested in Israel straight away, for instance Hans Globke. That was typical - the lack of punishment for heroes from Russian steppes - for post war West Germany. The whole trial on the media was boring. False accusations and constant Eichmann's lies were a commonplace. I digested this process by Cesarani and I regard it as fully describing the proceedings. (less)
