Eichmann. The books generally offer pupils a high level of theoretical and meta-historical
analysis in the form of, for example, accounts of the degree of rationality or irrationality of
motives (T2 and T5), about the merits of different concepts to describe the event (T4 and
T5), and about various explanatory models (T5). There is little mention of the effects of
the Argentinian military dictatorship of the 1980s and 1990s in relation to Nazism or the
Holocaust, and authors do not establish links between European and Argentinian history.
However, in the section addressing different definitions of genocide, T5 does state that
the Argentinian government persecuted not only guerrilla groups but also civilians. The
authors also advise pupils to visit the Anne Frank Centre in Buenos Aires. More pointedly,
the fact that T1 and T2 focus closely on the fate of Poland in the Second World War and
on issues of memory, could be interpreted as a form of recognition of the large Jewish
population which emigrated to Argentina as a result of the Holocaust.
