Supports. The Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy entry states that Arendt attended the 1961 Eichmann trial as a reporter and 'two years later published Eichmann in Jerusalem'.[1]
Supports. Penguin Random House Higher Education lists the author of Eichmann in Jerusalem as Hannah Arendt, describing it as 'from the author of The Origins of Totalitarianism'.[2]
Supports. Penguin Books UK and Wikipedia both identify Hannah Arendt as the author of the 1963 book Eichmann in Jerusalem.[3][4]
Context. The post spells the name 'Hana Uritz', a garbled form; the book and the 'Origins of Totalitarianism' reference in the same passage identify the author as Arendt.
