Hannah Arendt

Hannah Arendt: He transported people to their deaths, but didn't feel responsible for it. Once the trains were in motion, his work was done. Kurt Blumenfeld: So he can say he's free of guilt despite what happened to the people he transported? Hannah Arendt: Yes! That's how he sees it. He's a bureaucrat! Kurt Blumenfeld: Your quest for truth is admirable, but this time you have gone too far. Hannah Arendt: But Kurt, you can't deny the huge difference between the unspeakable horror of the deeds and the mediocrity of the man.
