Jane Momme considers what an analysis of Eichmann’s testimony can tell us about his motives

The Holocaust was a horrendous genocide during the last century and demonstrated how ordinary citizens were capable of committing crimes that led to the death of millions. Many of the perpetrators alleged at their trials that their motives were not personal but simply to obey their authorities.
