Publisher Description
One consequence of the Holocaust was the determination of many Jews to bring to justice those Nazi war criminals who had escaped after the war and were now in hiding throughout the world. Simon Wiesenthal, an Austrian survivor who had been forced to work in slave labor camps, dedicated his life to hunting down former Nazis and became famous for it. But the most celebrated accomplishment in this continuing campaign for retribution was the capture, trial, and execution of Adolf Eichmann in 1960—1962. As the Nazi officer overseeing the logistics of the Final Solution, Eichmann had been responsible for sending millions of Jews to their extermination in the death camps of Europe. Since the close of the war he had been living under an assumed name in Argentina when the Mossad, Israel’s intelligence agency, learned of his possible whereabouts. Here is the behind-the-scenes story of Eichmann’s capture.

Eichmann
This 72 page book is an abreviated version of Isser Harel’s work, The House on Garibaldi Street. The latter is quite difficult to find, yet is worth the search. The abbreviated book is just that.
Other members of the team have written as well, such as Eichmann in my Hands. There is also a tv version starring Robert Duval as Eichmann.
The younger generations need to read about this if they can focus at all for more than 90 seconds.
Excellent book!
The Capture of Adolf Eichmann is a great read for anyone who appreciates twentieth century world history, specifically that of the Jewish Holocaust.
