He transported people to their deaths, but didn't feel responsible for it. Once the trains were in motion, his work was done.
Kurt Blumenfeld:
So he can say he's free of guilt despite what happened to the people he transported?
Hannah Arendt:
Yes! That's how he sees it. He's a bureaucrat!
Kurt Blumenfeld:
Your quest for truth is admirable, but this time you have gone too far.
Hannah Arendt:
But Kurt, you can't deny the huge difference between the unspeakable horror of the deeds and the mediocrity of the man.
