Scope and Content
Session 105. This is duplicate footage from Tape 2187. Dr. Servatius begins by stating in the Sassen Document, he says things that are both anti-Semitic and the opposite. Eichmann says that he is not anti-Semitic, and was a part of the Nazi Party before it had such policies. He says that he never had a bad personal experience with Jews. 00:07:50 Dr. Servatius is finished with the re-examination of Eichmann. He will now face questions from the Judges. 00:08:22 Eichmann is being asked about when he could not live up to the Categorical Imperative of Emmanuel Kant, in which he believes. With this belief, he justifies his innocence because he followed orders unquestioned, and therefore all responsibility should be pinned on his superiors.
