Although the trial of
Adolf Eichmann in 1961
was world news, the details
of the events preceding it —
the location, capture and
transportation of the high
executioner of the "Final
Solution" to Israel — was
known to only a select few.
One of them, the only one
in fact thoroughly familiar
with every aspect of the op-
eration because he conceived
it and personally directed it
from obscure beginning to
startling conclusion, is Isser
Harel, former chief execu-
tive of Israel's secret serv-
ices.
Now long in retirement,
Harel has written "The
House on Garibaldi Street"
(Viking Press), a detective
drama describing Operation
Eichmann and the teams of
specialists drawn from Is-
rael's intelligence and coun-
ter-espionage agencies who
carried it out with brilliant
success.

The public prosecutor of
the province of Hesse, West
Germany, Dr. Fritz Bauer,
a Jew, .communicated Her-
mann's information to Is-
raeli sources and it even-
tually reached the desk of
Harel.
Harel's account of the
exhaustive manhunt that
finally traced Adolf Eich-
mann — alias Ricardo Kle-
ment; the surveillance and
identification of the quarry
that preceded his capture;
his subsequent detention in
a rented house in the heart
of Buenos Aires; and the'
final removal of Eichmann
from Buenos Aires' main
airport in the midst of a na-
tional festival should be re-
quirefkureading for the CIA,
KGB and every other organ-
ization engaged in clandes-
tine activities.
For the ordinary reader,
human, aspects of the story
may be even more interest-
ing than the technical ex-
pertise of the Israeli man-
hunters. The Eichmann
menage — the "house on
Garib-aldi Street" — was a
non-descript brick and plas-
ter building located in San
Fernando, a bleak, distant
suburb of Buenos Aires.

Two factors stand out in
Harel's account which
make an ironic contrast.
One was the meticulous
care, the long, exhaustive,
almost unbelievable atten-
tion to detail that went
into the planning and exe-
cution of the mission. The
other was the relative ease
with which, it was carried
out.

Operation Eichmann had
three phases: the location
and identification -of the
war criminal; his capture
and detention; his secret
transportation out of the
country — Argentine —
where he had lived since
1950.
Each phase posed its own
problems and required the
deployment and coordina-
tion of a large force of Is-
raeli undercover agents. The
entire operation was com-
plicated by the fact that it
was ,an unabashedly illegal
undertaking on the soil of a
nation friendly to Israel.
The man who almost —
but not quite — put the
"finger" on Eichmann was a
blind half-Jew, Lothar Her-
mann, an impoverished resi-
dent of Buenos Aires who
harbored both a grudge
against the Nazis and an ex-
pectation of financial re-

ward.

As early as 1958 Her-
mann became suspicious
of a 'young man paying
court to his daughter —
one "Nicky" (Nicholas)
Eichmann — and commu-
.

Kennedy Applauds Israeli Society

BOSTON (JTA) — Sena-
tor Edward M. Kennedy
(D Mass.), following his
return from a 10-day fact-
finding tour of the Middle
East, last night urged a
reaffirmation of friendship
and commitment to the
state of Israel and lauded Is-
raeli society as an unparal-
leled phenomenon in mod-
ern times.
Speaking at the Israel
Histadrut Awards Dinner
at the Sidney Hill Country
Club, Kennedy noted that
much of Israel's staunch,
democratic personality
comes from its pioneering

nicated his suspicions to
legal authorities in West
Germany where Adolf
Eichmann was wanted for
war crimes.

character and from Histad-
rut, Israel's federation of
labor.
Kennedy received Histad-
rut's medal of honor for his
"continuous assistance and
friendship to the state of
Israel."

.

Proceeds of the dinner
will go toward the establish-
ment of the Senator Edward
M. Kennedy Histadrut
Scholarship Fund to enable
youngsters from underprivi-
leged families in Israel to
complete their academic or
vocational high school edu-
cation.

The strutting Gestapo
martinet of Berlin who
once held the power of
death over millions had
become a faceless wage
slave, alighting wearily
from his commuter bus
each evening.

,

The isolated area where
Eichmann lived had both
pluses and minuses for the
task at hand. Strangers
could be easily spotted and
suspicions aroused, yet sur-
veillance of Klement-Eich-
mann had to be maintained
constantly to establish his
routine and 'make positive
identification.
On the night of his cap-
ture, May 11, 1960, the as-
sault team waited in -two
cars near the house on Gari-
baldi Street. The whole ac-
tion took place in less than a
minute.
According to Harel, the
most difficult ordeal for the
captors lay ahead. It
stemmed from the almost
palpable loathing they felt
for their prisoner who they
had to guard 24 hours a day,
whose every personal need
they had to attend to.
". . . How could they

control themselves day

after day? They had to
shave the man because he
couldn't be allowed to
have a razor. They had to
bathe - him because he
couldn't be permitted free-
dom of movement. They
even had to accompany
him to the toilet."

It was also prolonged be-
yond expectations. Arrange-
ments had been made to
spirit Eichmann out of Ar-
gentine aboard an Israeli
commercial airliner bring-
ing an official delegation to
Argentina.
At the last minute, Ar-
gentine officials advised the
Israeli government to delay
the arrival of its dele-
for certain reasons of
.1)-
col. That meant that riich-
mann would have to be kept
under detention in Buenos
Aires for nearly two weeks
longer than originally
planned.
During Eichmann's de-
tention, Harel was con-
vinced that his family would
not report his disappear-
ance to the police because
they would have to disclose
his true identity. But there
was concern that the family
might turn to the large co-
lony of other Nazis in Bue-
nos Aires. Harel surmised
that they would not and
Eichmann bore him out.

The primary objective of
Operation Eichmann was
to bring the man to trial in
Israel which regarded it-
self as the sole legitimate
representative of his vic-
tims and the country with
the greatest moral and le-
gal right to prosecute him.
The Eichmann trial-was to
re-open the agony of the
Holocaust 15 years after it
occurred.

Though Eichmann, Harel
learned of the probable
whereabouts in Buenos
Aires of Dr. Josef Mengele,
the notorious Auschwitz
physician who arbitrarily
selected Jews for the gas
chamber.
A house where Mengele
almost certainly had lived
vyas found. But the suspect
had moved out a few weeks
before and disappeared. If
alive today, the death camp
doctor is still at large.

If a man loves his wife as
his own self, respects her
more than himself, leads his
children in the right way
and sees them married at
the right time, it is of him i'
has said: "His tent shall be
in peace."
—The Talmud

Prof_ Bergman, 92, Israeli Philosopher

JERUSALEM (JTA) —
Samuel H. Bergman, pro-
fessor emeritus at the He-
brew University and one of
Israel's outstanding philoso-
phers, died June 18 at age
92.
Prof. Bergman. - who was
born in Prague and settled
in Palestine in 1920, be-
longed to a generation of
intellectual giants that in-
eluded Martin Buber.
Like Buber, he was active
in trying to develop friendly
relations between Jews and
Arabs. He was one of the
founders of Brit Shalom, a

group of intellectuals 1 -di-
cated to peaceful c'.
ence between the two peo-
ples.

He was the first director
of the national library at
the Hebrew University in
the early 1920s and was
the university's first rec-
tor. He also served as sec-
retary of the culture de-
partment of the Zionist
Executive in London be-
fore coming to Palestine.

Prof. Bergman published
more than 2,000 works
which were translated into
many languages.
