Israel Makes Public the Eichmann Investigation Protocols
31.12.2008
Over 4 decades after bringing into action the only death penalty in the country’s history, Israel released the investigation protocols from the case of Adolf Eichmann.
We would remind that Karl Adolf Eichmann (March 19, 1906 – May 31, 1962), also known as the "architect of the Holocaust," was a high-ranking Nazi SS officer. He was responsible for the mass deportation of Jews to ghettos and death camps in Nazi-occupied Eastern Europe.
After the war, Eichmann fled to Argentina, where he was hiding for a long time, but was captured by Israeli Mossad agents in Argentina in 1960 and appeared before an Israeli court on the charge of crimes against humanity.
As part of the special project of the Ministry of Justice, prepared by the Foundation for the publication of Eichmann case, thousands of pages of records and testimonies were translated into Hebrew. The details of the case can be read on the Ministy of Justice website.
In the near future, as noted in the message of the Fund, translations into major European languages will be published.
