>"Arendt was famously only at the trial for like 5 days..." Besides David Cesarani's "Becoming Eichmann" book from the mid 2000s where he stated Arendt had "only saw Eichmann in action for four days", are there any other references that support this? I've not been able to find any. Also the "in action" in that context specifically refers to Eichmann's testimony not that amount of time Arendt spent in the court room. I'm not sure how "famous" this is. Elsewhere her correspondance with her former teacher Karl Japsers indicates she was there for 10 weeks. That would be about a third of the 8 month trial.
