Death of Abraham Lincoln by Walt Whitman and Deportations from Europe by Hannah Arendt Regarding the two pieces of writing, Death of Abraham Lincoln by Walt Whitman and Deportations from Europe by Hannah Arendt, the exhibition of historical narrative is evident. However, it is essential to underscore that Adolf Eichmann is left out of the historical narrative as compared to Abraham Lincoln, whose narrative dominates the lecture by Walt Whitman. While Abraham Lincoln’s historical narrative touches on the massive contribution of the president, especially during the civil war, Adolf Eichmann has no such significant contribution apart from been an executioner of the orders from the central agencies of Berlin. For instance, upon the realization of the unreliability of Werner Best in carrying out the required orders, Eichmann had to send one of the best men from his office – Rolf Gunther to Denmark to complete the unfinished business regarding the Jewish deportation. This is an indication of the caliber of roles that were entrusted with Adolf Eichmann. His roles and actions were even opposed by some of the German officials…
