Unmasking Eichmann: Subconscious Bias and the Banality of Evil
What drives an ordinary man to commit extraordinary evil?
Adolf Eichmann-the so-called architect of the Holocaust-claimed he was merely following orders. But was it simple obedience, or a deeper web of subconscious bias, ideology, and moral disengagement?
Unmasking Eichmann is a powerful blend of history, psychology, and ethics, exploring how totalitarian regimes turn ordinary individuals into instruments of mass destruction. Drawing on the lessons of Hannah Arendt's "banality of evil", it sheds light on how cultural forces and hidden prejudices shaped one of the most notorious figures of the 20th century.
