The article revisits the fabled exchange of letters between Hannah Arendt and Gershom Scholem in the wake of the Eichmann trial. The main focus is on the respective arguments with regard to Jewish responsibility and the question of the possibility of judgement. The paper attempts to recover and contrast the basic frameworks and sets of assumptions that underlie these arguments. Doing this, it eventually identifies the fundamentally differing political and moral consequences of both Arendt’s and Scholem’s perspectives with regard to both the Holocaust and Jewish identity
