Notes

1. See Romy Golan, Modernity and Nostalgia: Art and Politics in France Between the Wars, New Haven: Yale University Press, 1995.

2. See Hannah Arendt, Eichmann in Jerusalem: A Report on the Banality of Evil, New York: Viking Press, 1963. This book was written originally as individual articles for The New Yorker while Arendt was covering the trial of Adolf Eichmann, a high-ranking Nazi official, in 1963. In it, Arendt comments upon the remarkably commonplace aspect of evil perpetrated during the Holocaust, shown for example in Eichmann's lack of education and bureaucratic ambitions.
