Abstract
Zelia Gregoriou opens her text with a quote from Hannah Arendt’s controversial book, Eichmann in Jerusalem: A Report on the Banality of Evil, in which the phrase “politics is not like the nursery” are words the judges of the Nuremberg trial might have said, if they “had dared to address their defendant,” Eichmann, in those terms. In this context, these words do not refer to childish nursery play, but underscore the fact that throughout his trial, Eichmann denied all responsibility, claiming that he had merely followed orders. Hence the second part of the quote: “in politics, obedience and support are the same.”
