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.
