Trial of Eichmann the Trial
Adolf Eichmann, a senior member of the SS and Gestapo during the Second World War, was responsible for the deportation, sterilization, forced labor, imprisonment, and murder of over six million Jews. When the Israeli secret police finally received a credible tip that Eichmann and his family was living in Argentina under an assumed name, they kidnapped him and secretly took him back to Israel to stand trial. Eichmann was eventually tried and convicted of crimes against humanity. This essay describes the events leading up to the trial and the court proceedings that eventually resulted in his hanging.
