On this, the 50th anniversary of Hannah Arendt visiting Hofstra (where I teach), I offer a kind of commemoration by reading the notes she prepared for the occasion. I found the one page notes for discussion when I was doing research in the online archives database at the New School library. (The document is numbered 024842) She enumerated 5 points for discussion, which she entitled simply EICHMANN (all bold): 1. Report of the Trial, 2. Question of Conscience, 3. Question of Judgment, 4. Banality of Evil, 5. Jewish Resistance.
