Adolf Eichmann    1906-1962

 

SS architect of final solution

 

 

One of the most pivotal actors

in the deportation of European Jewry

during the Holocaust.

 

[ . . . ]

 

At war's end,

Eichmann found himself

in U.S. custody,

but escaped in 1946.

 

In the end, he succeeded,

with the help of Catholic Church officials,

in fleeing to Argentina.

 

There he lived under a number of aliases,

most famously Ricardo Klement.

 

In 1960,

agents of the Israeli Security Service

(Mossad) abducted Eichmann

and brought him to Israel to stand trial.

 

The proceedings

before a district court in Jerusalem

drew international attention,

and historians roundly

credit coverage of the trial

(famously in Hannah Arendt's

Eichmann in Jerusalem)

with awakening public interest

in the Holocaust.

 

On December 15, 1961,

Eichmann was found guilty of crimes

against the Jewish people.

 

He was hanged at midnight

between May 31 and June 1, 1962;

 

Jewish authorities cremated his remains

and scattered his ashes in the sea

beyond Israeli boundary waters.
