Around the works of Bettina Stangneth, Eichmann before Jerusalem. The quiet life of a genocidaire, translated from German by Olivier Mannoni, Calmann-Lévy, 2016, and Christian Ingrao, The Promise of the East. Nazi hope and genocide, 1939-1943, Seuil, 2016.
«The Promise of the East. Nazi hope and genocide, 1939-1943» by Christian Ingrao, Seuil, 2016
Relying on unpublished sources, Bettina Stangneth demonstrates how Hannah Arendt’s thesis on the banality of evil cannot be applied to one of the greatest artisans of the "Final Solution". Christian Ingrao investigates what he calls «the Utopia» of the Third Reich, its desire to colonize and Germanise the immense spaces conquered in the East during the Second World War.
In the presence of Christian Ingrao, historian, CNRS/IHTP, and Fabien Théofilakis, historian, University Paris 1- Panthéon-Sorbonne.
Moderated by Iannis Roder, history teacher, trainer at the Shoah Memorial.
