20021st edition, original paper wrappers. 8vo, iv (English) + 27 (Hebrew) pages. In Hebrew with additional English abstract and title page. The Eichmann trial was one of the most important events in pre-1967 Israel. The article attempts to compare the reactions of two witnesses to the trial, Hannah Arendt and Haim Gouri, to the proceedings. These writers represent two conflicting perspectives- a Jewish-universalist one on the one hand, and a Jewish-Israeli one on the other .Interestingly, the insight of both Arendt and Gouri played a role in subverting the prevalent attitudes toward the memory of the Holocaust in Israeli society. While Arendts assertions became a basis of a tendency to universalize the Holocaust, removing it from a specific Jewish context, Gouris observations led to a strong identification with Diaspora Jewry. The Eichmann trial and the new perceptions in its wake marked the beginning of the decline of the concept of Negation of the Diaspora and the acceptance of the Holocaust as a major identity-forming factor in Israeli society. (from abstract) SUBJECT(S): War crime trials -- Jerusalem. Holocaust, Jewish (1939-1945). Eichmann, Adolf, Trials, litigation, etc. Arendt, Hannah-- Views on the Holocaust.
