A disertation of Eichman and his behavior

This is essentially an excerpt from a larger study. This focuses on the 'why' Eichman was the person responsible for such horror. An in depth study is taken to look at the specifics of the holocaust, its organization by Jews, the normalcy of those prosecuted at the end of the war and Eichman's arrogant demeanor at trial.
