Eichmann Before Jerusalem

Eichmann Before Jerusalem: The Unexamined Life of a Mass Murderer () is a book by Bettina Stangneth originally published in German in 2011. An edition in English appeared in 2014.

The work challenges Hannah Arendt's portrayal of Adolf Eichmann in ' as an unintelligent and thoughtless bureaucrat. Stangneth shows that Eichmann's actions were the results of intentional, well-thought-out decisions of a man who strongly subscribed to Nazi ideology and who took pride in his actions.
