Eichmann is already under arrest in Israel and will shortly be placed on trial in Israel under the terms of the law for the trial of Nazis and their collaborators.

  • John William Studer, KIA During Marine Assault of South Pacific
    Little Billy Introduction In World War II over 2,000 Baker County men and women served in the armed forces, almost nine percent of the county’s 17,000 residents. The Veterans War Memorial on the grounds of Baker County Courthouse lists in bronze the names of eighty-eight Baker County WWII servicemen who died during the war, seventy of them killed in action. Those seventy men’s names are also among names inscribed in granite on the Oregon WW II Memorial dedicated on Veteran’s Day 2012 on the grounds of the Oregon State Capitol (www.oregonwwiimemorial.com). Among the names on both memorials is that of Baker City native John William Studer, who joined the Marines right after Pearl Harbor. He volunteered for and was chosen to serve in an elite commando unit called Carlson’s Raiders. Studer, known at home as “Bill” or “Billy,” was killed November 1, 1943, during the D-Day assault of Bougainville Island in the South Pacific. This is his story. His war experiences are revealed in Bill’s letters and in the memories of his comrades in arms and his friends at home. Studer’s Family and Early Years Paul, Bill, Edith (Grover’s second wife), and Grover (father of Paul and Bill) John William “Bill” Studer was born in Baker, Oregon, on September 18, 1920, to Grover C. Studer (1892-1956) and Edith Golden Weitz Studer (1891-1931). A newspaper item announced his birth: “Mr. and Mrs. Grover Studer are the parents of an eight pound boy born this morning at their home on Cedar Street.

  • The Holocaust on Trial: Shaping an Awareness Through the Triumph and Tragedy of Adolf Eichmann's Capture
    The Holocaust on Trial: Shaping an Awareness Through the Triumph and Tragedy of Adolf Eichmann's Capture Zoe Fishman Junior Division Paper Word Count: 2500 [email protected] “We could only hang him once, we couldn’t hang him six million times.” -Mickey Goldman1 Thesis Adolf Eichmann was one of the most pivotal actors in the implementation of the “Final Solution.” Charged with managing and facilitating the mass deportation of Jews to ghettos and killing centers in Germany, he was among the major organizers of the Holocaust. His 1961 trial in Jerusalem, Israel, sparked international interest and heightened public awareness of the Holocaust.2 The capture and high-profile trial of Adolf Eichmann, which was due to his role in the persecution and tragic deaths of over six million Jews, was a triumph of justice and would inevitably introduce the Holocaust into historical, educational, legal, and cultural discourse. Furthermore, it would help to shape an awareness of the Holocaust in Israeli and world public opinion.3 Isser Harel and The Mossad In 1957, following World War II, Isser Harel, a spymaster of the intelligence and the security services of Israel and the Director of the Mossad,4 received a message from Frankfurt, Germany, regarding a Dr. Fritz Bauer, attorney general of Hesse, requesting to convey information to the Mossad.5 Harel soon learned that Eichmann was alive, and hiding in Argentina. 1 "THE HOLOCAUST ON TRIAL: Considering the Impact and Legacy of a Global Media Event."
