The Eichmann trial was full of drama,
drawing the world's attention to the
perpetrator and to his victims.

about the Holocaust were written.
The story of how Eichmann was
brought to justice seemed made for
TV. He escaped an American POW
camp in Germany after the war, got
help from the Catholic Church to
flee to Argentina and lived there for
years under the pseudonym Ricardo
Klement. Recently it was revealed
that German intelligence officials
knew of Eichmann's location as early
as 1952.
Before his capture, Eichmann had
boasted to friends of his involve-
ment in the Final Solution and shared
his dreams of resurrecting National
Socialism. He even told Dutch fascist
journalist Willem Sassen in the late
1950s that he regretted his failure
to complete the job of genocide.
Eichmann reportedly said he hoped
the Arabs would carry on his fight
for him, according to Stangneth, who
recently recovered some 300 pages of
"lost" interview transcripts.
In 1960, the Mossad captured
Eichmann in Argentina in a dramatic
operation that ended with his being
brought clandestinely to Israel.
As the date of the trial neared,
German Chancellor Konrad Adenauer
became intensely worried, according
to historian Deborah Lipstadt, whose
new book, The Eichmann Trial, came

out in March. Adenauer feared "that
Eichmann might expose the number
of prominent Nazis who served in his
government," she said.
Even worse, Lipstadt said, by 1951
Adenauer was fed up with the guilt he
felt was being foisted on the Germans
for perpetrating the genocide of the
Jews.
"He thought it was time to move on','
she said. "It is shocking that he could
say that. And here it was, coming back
in a very strong way."
The Eichmann trial was full of
drama, drawing the world's attention
to the perpetrator and to his victims.
Eichmann faced 15 criminal charges,
including crimes against humanity
and war crimes.
Many millions of eyes studied
Eichmann through TV sets, trying in
vain to discern in his word, manner
and expressions signs of remorse.
Tom Hurwitz recalled how his late
father once filmed Eichmann viewing
a selection of film clips taken after
the liberation of concentration camps;
Eichmann had the right to see the
clips before they were shown in the
courtroom.
During the screening, one cam-
eraman focused on Eichmann as
he watched one horrific image after
another. Eichmann sat impassively.
