50 Years After Trial,<br />
Eichmann Secrets Live On<br />
Cover page<br />
NYT 05/09/<strong>2011</strong><br />
How much did the world really know<br />
about Adolf Eichmann prior to his trial in<br />
Jerusalem in 1961?<br />
Most of those familiar with his name<br />
didn't wish to be caught remembering it.<br />
The very survival of this chief witness for<br />
crimes against humanity seriously<br />
undermined the strategy of overcoming<br />
the past by simply refusing to<br />
acknowledge it.<br />
Eichmann before Jerusalem is not<br />
the story of one man, nor is it the report<br />
of an isolated Argentinian scandal.<br />
It is an attempt to lay bare a vital chapter<br />
in the annals of the Federal Republic of<br />
Germany, a string of lost opportunities in<br />
the attempt to start anew.<br />
Bettina Stangneth, born in 1966,<br />
studied philosophy. She has written about<br />
the history of anti-Semitism in the 18th<br />
century, and national socialist<br />
philosophy.<br />
In 2000 she was awarded first prize by<br />
the Philosophisch-Politischen Akademie<br />
e.V., Cologne, for her study of Kant's anti-<br />
Semitism.<br />
She has been doing research into<br />
Lügentheorie (Theory of Lying) and<br />
Adolf Eichmann since then.<br />
