Summary
Herbert Grun: The Trial in Jerusalem 1961
"...THE TRIAL IN JERUSALEM is not just a series of news reports, it is not a journalistic reportage or publicist presentation of the course of a process that excited the world and filled the columns of the entire world press for months, Grun described in his book the entire court procedure as a dramatic echo of Hitler's fascist pandemonium - a reign that created not only a new concept of crime, genocide, but also a new type a criminal, a white-collar criminal, a bureaucrat, a killer behind a desk. And one of those inhuman killers of bureaucrats was Adolf Eichmann, a man who sent six million innocent people to their death with a clear conscience... who answers the 15 counts of the indictment with clerical and bureaucratic calm: "In terms of the indictment, I do not feel guilty." the days that began with the "Kristallnacht" in Berlin, the first great persecution of Jews in Germany, and ended in those April days of 1945, when Eichmann issued the last orders and - in his words - the last "train schedules" to go to the gas chambers..."
