THE BANALITY OF EVIL, EXPLAINED WITH VIDEO GAMES

On the occasion of the 70th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz by the Russians. Who were not represented at the ceremony, because they were not invited. Well, the EU never surprises.

Anyway, here is a video explaining Hannah Arendt famous phrase "The Banality of Evil". Often misunderstood, but so to the point and ultimately frightening, even today.

“The trouble with Eichmann was precisely that so many were like him, and that the many were neither perverted nor sadistic, that they were, and still are, terribly and terrifyingly normal. From the viewpoint of our legal institutions and of our moral standards of judgment, this normality was much more terrifying than all the atrocities put together.” 
― Hannah Arendt
