“Eu recordo com profunda gratidão da ajuda de padres católicos na minha fuga da Europa e decidi, em honra da fé católica, tornar-me membro honorário.”

Ich erinnere mich in tiefer Dankbarkeit an die Hilfe katholischer Priester bei meiner Flucht aus Europa und entschied, den katholischen Glauben zu honorieren, indem ich Ehrenmitglied wurde
Adolf Eichmann, em 1961; citado em "Kirche der Sünder, sündige Kirche?: Beispiele für den Umgang mit Schuld nach 1945"‎ - Página 34, de Rainer Bendel - Publicado por LIT Verlag Berlin-Hamburg-Münster, 2002, ISBN 3825850102, 9783825850104 - 240 páginas

“Adolf Hitler pode ter errado todas as linhas, mas uma coisa é incontestável: o homem foi capaz de trabalhar a partir de seu caminho de cabo no exército alemão para Fuhrer de uma população de quase oitenta milhões… Seu sucesso sozinho provou que eu deveria subordinar-me a este homem.”

Adolf Hitler may have been wrong all down the line, but one thing is beyond dispute: the man was able to work his way up from lance corporal in the German Army to Führer of a people of almost eighty million. ... His success alone proved that I should subordinate myself to this man.
conforme citado em "The Eichmann Memoir" in The Personalist Volume XLII (1961)

Adolf Eichmann: Frases em inglês

“I'd like to say something about this last, about this last point of this terrible, terrible business. I mean Treblinka. I was given orders. I went to see Globocnik in Treblinka. That was the second time. The installations were now in operation, and I had to report to Müller. I expected to see a wooden house on the right side of the road and a few more wooden houses on the left; that's what I remembered. Instead, again with the same Sturmbannführer Höfle, I came to a railroad station with a sign saying Treblinka, looking exactly like a German railroad station — anywhere in Germany — a replica, with signboards, etc. There I hung back as far as I could. I didn't push closer to see it all. I saw a footbridge enclosed in barbed wire and over that footbridge a file of naked Jews was being driven into a house, a big… no, not a house, a big, one-room structure, to be gassed. As I was told, they were gassed with …what's it called? … Potassium cyanide… or cyanic acid. In acid form it's called cyanic acid. I didn't look to see what happened. I reported to Müller and as usual he listened in silence, without a word of comment. Just his facial expression said: "There's nothing I can do about it."”

I am convinced, Herr Hauptmann, [Eichmann is referring to his interrogator, Avner Less] I know it sounds odd coming from me, but I'm convinced that if it had been up to Müller it wouldn't have happened.

“I balk inwardly at saying that we did anything wrong”

Argentina Audiotapes (1957)
Contexto: I, "the cautious bureaucrat," that was me, yes indeed. But... This cautious bureaucrat was attended by a... a fanatical warrior, fighting for the freedom of my blood, which is my birthright, and I say here, just as I have said to you before: your louse that nips you, Comrade Sassen, does not interest me. My louse under my collar interests me. I will squash it. This is the same when it comes to my people.... what benefits my people is a sacred order and a sacred law for me.... I have no regrets! I am certainly not going to bow down to that cross!... it would be too easy... for me to pretend that a Saul has become a Paul. I tell you, Comrade Sassen, I cannot do that. That I cannot do, because I am not willing to do it, because I balk inwardly at saying that we did anything wrong.
