Document Summary

They wanted to make their attack much stronger by stating that. Eichmann"s crimes were against humanity and that they were done through the body of the jews. This proves to be a more sympathy arousing approach than simply limiting the crime to just the. Prosecution aimed to demonstrate the suffering of the jews and then prove eichmann"s responsibility for their suffering. Due to the presence of the prime minister and his intentions of using the trial to teach the world a few lessons, arendt, as well as the judges, believed that this course is irrelevant and off topic. It should only seek to deal justice to the accused, and the only relevant person is the accused, not the victim and definitely not the rest of the world as the prime minister saw it. The prosecution"s case is to demonstrate crimes against jewish people then establish eichmann"s responsibility.
