From Rudolf Hoess, COMMANDANT AT AUSCHWITZ:

"He (Eichmann) showed that he was completely obsessed with the idea of destroying every single Jew that he could lay his hands on. "Without pity and in cold blood we must complete this extermination as rapidly as possible."

Eichmann WANTED & DESIRED to kill Jews.

Liberal fantasy and denial of reality (Hannah Arendt): He was "banal," just "following orders" and simply being "obedient to authority."

Killing Jews was the Nazi's FUNDAMENTAL PROJECT.
