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. In the cabinet meeting immediately preceding this announcement, Ben-Gurion’s ministers had expressed their astonishment and curiosity.

  • 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."

  • Judenrat Leaders and Hannah Arendt's Fine Line Between
    Gablenz 1 (Un)Ethical (In)Action: Judenrat Leaders and Hannah Arendt’s Fine Line between Resistance and Complicity Neil G. Gablenz The State University of New York at Buffalo Hannah Arendt crafted the expression “the banality of evil” in her 1963 essay Eichmann in Jerusalem: A Report on the Banality of Evil as an attempt to explain the disturbing contrast between Adolf Eichmann’s actions and behavior during both the years of Hitler’s Third Reich (1933-1945), as well as at his trial in Jerusalem (1961), and the indescribably horrific results they visited upon the world. Originally published as a series of essays for The New Yorker in 1961, Arendt’s goal, as she states in Eichmann in Jerusalem, was to both cover the court proceedings as well as discover who Adolf Eichmann was and how he came to play the role of architect in the Holocaust. Little did she know Gablenz 2 that this expression attached to Eichmann would bitterly and publicly divide American and European intellectuals for years to come. Attempting to encapsulate the palpable tension that surrounded Eichmann in Jerusalem, Amos Elon remarks in his introduction: “No book within living memory had elicited similar passions. A kind of excommunication seemed to have been imposed on the author by the Jewish establishment in America” (vii). Eichmann in Jerusalem indeed caused an uproar— some audiences understood her self-expressed intent and declared her work a “masterpiece,” a “terrifying expressionist invention applied with a force no imitator could rival” (Berkowitz). Others, however, condemned Arendt’s commentary of the trial as the shameful work of a self-hating Jew.
