Hannah Arendt Attended The Nuremberg Trials And Came Away With The Realization
That Evil Was Essentially "Banal,"
(A Word Deriving From The Latin "Vanus" Meaning "Empty," "Baseless," "Meaningless.")

Were Revealed As Petty Bureaucrats "Just Doing Their Job,"
And Proud To Be Doing It Well!
They Were Even More Grateful To Be A Cog In Derivative Machinery
Wherein Others Made The Overarching Decisions.
