First was the dream of the Zionist pioneers, starting in the late nineteenth century, to return to the ancient Jewish homeland, cultivate the land, and create a new kind of Jew—strong and proud—in an independent state of their own.1 Second was the growing need for a place of refuge in the land of Zion for persecuted

  • The Eichmann Trial the Eichmann Trial
    The Eichmann Trial The Eichmann Trial EUROPEAN JEWRY BEFORE AND AFTER HITLER by SALO W. BARON A HISTORIAN, not an eyewitness or a jurist, I shall concern myself with the historical situation of the Jewish people before, during, and after the Nazi onslaught—the greatest catastrophe in Jewish history, which has known many catastrophes. A historian dealing with more or less contemporary problems con- fronts two major difficulties. The first is that historical perspective usu- ally can be attained only after the passage of time. The second is that much relevant material is hidden away in archives and private collec- tions, which are usually not open for inspection until several decades have passed. In this instance, however, the difficulties have been re- duced. The world has been moving so fast since the end of World War JJ, and the situation of 1961 so little resembles that of the 1930's, that one may consider the events of a quarter of a century ago as belonging almost to a bygone historic era, which the scholarly investigator can view with a modicum of detachment. In fact, a new generation has been growing up which "knew not Hitler." For its part, the older generation is often eager to forget the nightmare of the Nazi era. Hence that period has receded in the consciousness of man as if it had occurred long ago. This article is based on a memorandum that Professor Baron prepared for himself when he was invited to testify at the Eichmann trial, in April 1961, on the Jewish communities destroyed by the Nazis.

GENOCIDE: THE TRIAL OF ADOLF EICHMANN AND THE QUEST FOR GLOBAL JUSTICE Matthew Lippman* INTRODUCTION This essay revisits the Israeli prosecution of Adolf Eichmann, a central architect of Nazi Germany's Final Solution of the Jewish question. The Eichmann trial stands as a seminal step in the development of interna- tional human rights and humanitarian law and presents the profound juris- prudential issue as to whether legal standards and procedures may be compromised in an effort to achieve a desired and deserved criminal conviction.' Professor Lon L. Fuller composed the hypothetical, The Problem Of The Grudge Informer, to highlight the central issues raised in Eichmann and in other post-World War H war crimes prosecutions.

Definito il ‘processo del secolo’, venne mandato in onda in 37 Paesi e per la prima volta l'orrore dei campi di sterminio venne raccontato in diretta dalle vittime. La messa in onda di quel processo rappresenta il primo evento televisivo globale e il film racconta la straordinaria storia del team di produzione che dovette superare ostacoli di ogni tipo per poter catturare la testimonianza di uno dei più noti criminali nazisti. La vicenda si svolge a Gerusalemme nel 1961, quando il geniale produttore televisivo Milton Fruchtman (Martin Freeman) assume il regista Leo Hurwitz (Anthony LaPaglia) per occuparsi delle riprese del processo. Hurwitz, regista molto amato dalla critica e pioniere nell'uso di diverse macchine da presa per le riprese in studio, era finito nella 'lista nera' di McCarthy dove era rimasto per un decennio.

  • Hannah Arendt, "Eichmann in Jerusalem"
    Note to the Reader This is a revised and enlarged edition of the book which first appeared in May, 1963. I covered the Eichmann trial at Jerusalem in 1961 for The New Yorker, where this account, slightly abbreviated, was originally published in February and March, 1963. The book was written in the summer and fall of 1962, and finished in November of that year during my stay as a Fellow of the Center for Advanced Studies at Wesleyan University. The revisions for this edition concern about a dozen technical errors, none of which has any bearing on the analysis or argument of the original text. The factual record of the period in question has not yet been established in all its details, and there are certain matters on which an informed guess will probably never be superseded by completely reliable information. Thus the total number of Jewish victims of the Final Solution is a guess - between four and a half and six million - that has never been verified, and the same is true of the totals for each of the countries concerned. Some new material, especially on Holland, came to light after the publication of this book, but none of it was important for the event as a whole. Most of the additions are also of a technical nature, clarifying a particular point, introducing new facts, or, in some instances, quotations from different sources. These new sources have been added to the Bibliography and are discussed in the new Postscript, which deals with the controversy that followed the original publication.

For years now we have been the largest Holocaust survivor family organization in the world and much of our success is the result of personal referrals. We are proud to say we have never accepted any money that could be used to help survivors in need.

Thank you for your continuing support! Please send us your Kristallnacht and other Holocaust program information using this format: www.genshoah.org/contact_gsi.html. We are happy to give your programs free, worldwide publicity but since we have no paid staff, we need your help by using our event format. Our thanks to E.

Fundamentación y descripción Entre 1933 y 1945 el Tercer Reich perpetró un crimen sin precedentes históricos compuesto por robos, arianizaciones, encarcelamientos ilegales, torturas, violaciones, deportaciones, trabajos forzados, destrucción y homicidios individuales y en masa. En su inicio fue un “crimen sin nombre” (Winston Churchill, 1941). En 1944 se inventó la palabra “genocidio” (Raphael Lemkin) para designarlo. Los juristas convinieron en tipificarlo como “crimen de lesa humanidad”. Para los fiscales de la inmediata posguerra, por abarcar los acontecimientos de una década, de todo un continente, y a innumerables individuos y eventos (Robert H Kackson, 1945) fue “el crimen más espantoso que el mundo haya conocido” (Hartley Shawcross, 1945). La administración de justicia a los “criminales de guerra”, luego “criminales nazis”, comenzó en Núremberg con un Tribunal Militar Internacional, que juzgó a los así llamados “principales”. Los “menores” fueron juzgados por tribunales militares no internacionales en los juicios “subsiguientes” y “zonales”. A pesar de la expandida percepción en sentido contrario, el (o los) genocidio(s) del Holocausto perpetrados por el Tercer Reich, sus aliados y colaboradores quedaron subordinados a muchos otros, dentro de la masa de “crímenes de lesa humanidad”.

  • In the District Court of Jerusalem
    IN THE DISTRICT COURT OF JERUSALEM Criminal Case No. 40/61 Before His Honour JUDGE MOSHE LANDAU (Presiding) His Honour JUDGE BENJAMIN HALEVI His Honour JUDGE YITZCHAK RAVEH For the Prosecution: THE ATTORNEY GENERAL The Accused: ADOLF, son of Karl Adolf, EICHMANN J U D G M E N T The references in the Judgment are to the official record in Hebrew. Adolf Eichmann has been brought to trial in this Court on charges of unsurpassed gravity - charges of crimes against the Jewish People, crimes against humanity, and war crimes. The period of the crimes ascribed to him, and their historical background, is that of the Hitler regime in Germany and in Europe, and the counts of the indictment encompass the catastrophe which befell the Jewish People during that period - a story of bloodshed and suffering which will be remembered to the end of time. This is not the first time that the Holocaust has been discussed in court proceedings. It was dealt with extensively at the International Military Tribunal at Nuremberg during the Trial of the Major War Criminals, and also at several of the trials which followed; but this time it has occupied the central place in the Court proceedings, and it is this fact which has distinguished this trial from those which preceded it. Hence also the trend noticed during and around the trial, to widen its range. The desire was felt - understandable in itself - to give, within the trial, a comprehensive and exhaustive historical description of events which occurred during the Holocaust, and in so doing, to emphasize also the inconceivable feats of heroism performed by ghetto-fighters, by those who mutinied in the camps, and by Jewish partisans.
