Eichmann, Adolf
Born Mar. 19, 1906 in Solingen in the Rhineland; died June 1,1962, in Ramleh, Israel. Fascist German war criminal. Eichmann joined the security service of the SS (Schutzstaffel) in 1934 and subsequently headed the subsection on Jewish affairs. In World War II he helped to draft and implement plans for the physical extermination of the Jewish population in Europe, and he was directly in charge of the shipment of Jews to concentration camps. After the defeat of fascist Germany, Eichmann fled to Argentina. In 1960 he was seized by agents of the Israeli intelligence service. Eichmann was sentenced to death after being tried by a court in Jerusalem and was executed in the prison in the city of Ramleh. Want to thank TFD for its existence?

No references found | 95 Hardcover D804 At the Eichmann trial in Jerusalem in 1961, Freiberg bore witness as one of the few survivors of the Sobibor Nazi death camp. Rosenthal's personal piece came out the same year as Leon Uris's Exodus, but before the Eichmann trial and before Elie Wiesel's Night. Mulisch provides an immensely personal account of the trial--wholly unchanged from the original series (1)--that is deftly intertwined with observations of Eichmann the man and Eichmann the myth, as well as observations regarding the development of the Israeli state which "had no long-established institutions" (xxi) and which found in the Eichmann trial a raison d'etre, "an opportunity for creative nation-building" (xxi). |
