We sons of Eichmann

In an open letter to Eichmann's son, Klaus, Günther Anders writes a warning in his own, penetrating style: The ”Eichmann” problem is not confined to the past. We are all sons and daughters of the world of Eichmann. It is the world of machines of extermination whose workings defy the imagination. There is a danger that we will function as wheels without resisting and without awareness; our moral powers may well not be able to keep up with the device; everyone could become an Eichmann.
