and capture of Adolf Eichmann.
Premiering on Sunday, Nov. 10,
at 8 p.m., the movie was produced
by and features Robert Duvall of
Tender Mercies and Lonesome
Dove fame and is based on the
1990 memoir by Peter Z. Malkin,
the Mossad agent who headed up
the action-packed discovery of
Eichmann and his carefully
planned abduction from Argenti-
na and transfer to Jerusalem for
trial.
Duvall, who portrays Eich-
mann, does an admirable job of
exemplifying the "banality of evil"

that Hannah Arendt made fa-
mous over 30 years ago. As pro-
ducer of this film, Duvall remains
remarkably true to the book.
Starring Arliss Howard as
Malkin, the movie plays out as
part documentary, part drama
and part psychological study, ex-
ploring why Eichmann, a rather
unassuming and milquetoast
family man in middle age, did
what he did.
Eichmann asserts that he was
`just following orders," and that
he was not an anti-Semite. While
this defense has been argued
again and again by countless
Nazis in the last 50 years, the fact
of the matter is that atrocities
against humanity were commit-
ted and personal responsibility is
at the heart of this drama. ❑
aw "Nazi Hunters: Stalking
Evil" premieres 8 p.m. Thurs-
day, Nov. 7. "The Man Who
Captured Eichmann" pre-
mieres 8 p.m. Sunday, Nov. 10.
Both programs will appear on
Turner Network Television.

W
hen history looks back, I
want the world to know
that Nazis weren't able to
kill millions of people and
get away with it," said famed Nazi
hunter Simon Wiesenthal. Today,
the hunt continues, with a race
against biological certainty, to find
the perpetrators of the Nazi Re-
ich, and bring them to justice.
Bringing attention to the ongo-
ing efforts of justice seekers still
in action, Turner Network Tele-
vision (TNT) features two new
original presentations in the next
week: a documentary dealing with
the ongoing search for high Nazi
officials still in hiding around the
world, and a dramatic film about
the capture of Adolph Eichmann
in 1961.
The documentary, titled "Nazi
Hunters: Stalking Evil," pre-
mieres on Thursday, Nov. 7, at
8 p.m. Narrated by actor Ben
Kingsley, the hour-long special
utilizes archival footage of Holo-
caust horrors, interspersed with
interviews with well-known Nazi
hunters Simon Wiesenthal,
Beate and Serge Klarsfeld, and
Isser Harel, as well as with Mor-
ris Dees of KlanWatch, and Eli
Rosenbaum of the U.S. Depart-
ment of Justice.
Fifty years after the end of
World War II, the fate of some of
the most notorious members of
Hitler's inner circle is still in lim-
bo, as exemplified by the Italian
government's extradition, trial and
dismissal of Erich Priebke, the S.S.
captain who murdered 325 people
at the Ardeatine Caves in Italy in
1944. Earlier this year, an Italian
military court dismissed the case,
saying that the 30-year statute of
limitations had run out on his
crime.
The documentary focuses on
this still-unresolved case (the Ger-
man government is attempting
extradition), as well as on Josef
Mengele (believed by some to still
be alive); Adolf Eichmann (hanged
in Jerusalem in 1962 for crimes
against humanity); Klaus Barbie
(who was brought to trial in
France in the 1980s and died in
prison while serving a life sen-
tence); and Alois Brunner (still at
large). "Nazi Hunters" makes its
case for continued vigilance
against the rise of fascism, but its
approach is rather formulaic and
for the knowledgeable viewer, not
very enlightening.
TNT's complementary docu-
drama, "The Man Who Captured
Eichmann," is a riveting factual
account of the search, discovery
