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.

  • Theodore Silva “Six Million Accusers” Essay the Trial Address of Israeli
    Theodore Silva “Six Million Accusers” essay The trial address of Israeli attorney-general Gideon Hausner against Nazi Bureaucrat Adolf Eichmann is a thorough description of the horrors of the Holocaust and a powerful condemnation of Eichmann’s role in it. Its language is bone-chilling, especially to those of us with Jewish ancestry and stories of family members permanently displaced in that terrible Shoah. The results of Adolf Eichmann’s trial, and the Nuremburg trials before his, should always be regarded as repudiations of deranged Nazi ideology and the systematic dehumanization and terror that it breeds. But this essay is not about the ancient evil of anti-Semitism before and after Dreyfus and Hitler, nor is it about the trial of history’s most murderous bureaucrat Adolf Eichmann. In this essay I will describe how “ordinary” people are capable of such inhumanity, explain the controversy around “the banality of evil” and present examples of the “just following orders” plea being used to justify inhumane acts in the present day. In October 1945, the International Military Tribunal (IMT) convened in Nuremberg, Germany to try 199 Nazis and their collaborators in the wake of history’s deadliest war. According to the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum, “The defendants generally acknowledged that the crimes occurred but denied that they were responsible, as they were following orders from a higher authority.” This “Befehl ist Befehl” defense—literally “an order is an order,” was so widely used in these trials that it became known as the “Nuremberg defense.” This was fifteen years before the trial of Adolf Eichmann, where he used the same plea to the Jerusalem District Court in 1961.

  • 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."

The winner of this case was forced to sit for a second trial during which he was represented by Fred Turner. This case overturned the \special circumstances" requirement written in Betts v. Brady. In this case, Abe Fortas argued on the behalf of a defendant who had broken into a Florida pool hall. The public defender system was expanded as a result of, for ten points, what case that expanded the accused's right to an attorney to states. ANSWER: Gideon v. Wainwright (accept either underlined name) (2) Five of these structures were based on the island of Kneiphof [neep-hof], where Immanuel Kant is buried, but two of the five were destroyed during World War II bombing raids. These structures, which spanned the Pregel River, were the subject of a popular thought problem that was solved in 1736 by a clever, early use of graph theory. For ten points, name this set of walkways in a Prussian city, now the Russian city of Kaliningrad, that were famously studied by Leonhard Euler [oiler].
