Abstract
Radical evil and the banality of evil are the two ways in which Arendt has catalogued totalitarian evil. In relation to this theme, the Auschwitz trials have not been the object of in-depth analysis both with regard to Arendtian work and critical literature. The purpose of this paper is to elucidate whether the type of evil evidenced during the mentioned trials was the replica of a typology of evil with legal antecedents and, therefore, it is correct to leave it out of the studies on the evil that occurred during totalitarian regimes, or if only it can be understood in relation to the context in which it took place.
