Abstract:
Discusses the anger and debate aroused by Arendt's book "Eichmann in Jerusalem". She was viewed as a self-hating Jew because she accused the Jewish leaders during the Holocaust of complying with Nazi orders, thereby facilitating the mass murder. Her views on Eichmann's personality were considered to be wrong and her way of writing was considered inappropriately lacking humility in dealing with the Holocaust. States that although much of the criticism was unfair, Arendt's undiplomatic style of writing contributed to the negative reactions which ensued.
