Customer Review

This testimony of a psychiatrist, Jewish officer in the US Army, whose mission was to meet with former officials of Nazi Germany, tried for war crimes at Nuremberg, is crucial in the understanding of evil. The humanity of the author is surprising face the demons. This book is moving and instructive.

The Nuremberg trial, very well made in the great Nuremberg From Nuremberg to Rossif illuminated with talent by Joseph Kessel (Last Judgments: the Petain trial, Nuremberg and Eichmann), absolute necessity to give a new impetus to Humanity condemning the absolute savagery of Nazism and allowed a psychiatrist to make us precious testimonies of his talks with senior Nazi officials, he had imprisoned in January 1946 (six weeks after the trial began) to the end of the month July of the same year.

These arisen ways of the past are to listen to the putting into perspective of this dialogue that does not judge, who reveals. Valuable document for understanding history.

The Banality of Evil (Hannah Arendt about Eichmann in Jerusalem). None of these former Nazis admits his guilt. Each blames the other, often neighboring cell when it is not the dead (Hitler). Infamous antics, cowardice, intellectual poverty (which does not exclude a certain manipulative intelligence in many executioners), mental disorders are the lot of those discussions.
