Hannah Arendt's book 'Eichmann in Jerusalem' was written in the early 1960s.

What we found

Supports. The Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy says Arendt attended the Eichmann trial in 1961 as a reporter and published Eichmann in Jerusalem two years later, in 1963.[1]

Supports. The National Endowment for the Humanities says her essays on the trial were first published in the New Yorker in February and March 1963, and became the book Eichmann in Jerusalem.[2]

Supports. Reference and publisher pages give the book's first publication date as 1963, with a revised and enlarged edition in 1964 or 1965.[3][4]

Context. The post's own remark that the book was written under the convention of the early '60s matches the 1961–1963 timeline in the sources, so the claim does not add anything the passage did not say.
