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.
