Who Was the Real Adolf Eichmann?
|
|
|
|
|
Adolf Eichmann (1906–62) was an accomplished role player; one of his greatest performances was in the Jerusalem court where he was on trial for his life. Here he portrayed himself as an insignificant little cog following orders given by superiors. Three years before, in Argentina, Eichmann held court in the salon of a Dutch Nazi sympathiser Willem Sassen. Surrounded by his peers, this Eichmann spoke into a tape recorder revealing an unrepentant Nazi, a narcissist devoid of empathy who believed “World Jewry” under its führer Chaim Weizmann had declared war on Germany. In this session we discuss why the recording sessions were organised, and by referring to the transcripts investigate what Eichmann had to say about the Final Solution and his part in it. His words force us to consider an alternative paradigm for measuring how evil is represented, one that does not coincide with the word “banal” favoured by Hannah Arendt.

Richard Vinen and Helen Fry
Churchill and Charles de Gaulle
|

|
|

Helen Fry in conversation with historian Richard Vinen on Winston Churchill (1874–1965) and Charles de Gaulle (1890–1970), who respectively incarnated the resistance of Britain and France to the existential threat from Nazi Germany. Their ultimate victory over Hitler was only part of a complex story. Both men influenced their countries, and the world around them, long after the war was won.
