Jekyll or Hyde?

The most chilling aspect of monsters like Mengele and Eichman is that they really weren't monsters at all.

At his war-crimes trial, the architect of the Final Solution looked frail and frightened, his expressions contorted by a nervous tic. Alone, stripped of support and symbols, he inspired more pity than hate.

I fear most the Nobody desperate to be Somebody.
