Source C Adolf Eichmann on trial in Jerusalem
The kidnapping and trial of Adolf Eichmann by Israel was one of the most dramatic stories of 1962. Adolf Eichmann was an officer in the SS who had also been one of the architects of the Holocaust in the Second World War. He had helped to plan and organise the systematic murder of millions of Jews in concentration and death camps across occupied Europe. After the war he had avoided trial and managed to escape to Argentina. He was located and captured on 11 May 1960 by Mossad (the Israeli secret service) and flown to Jerusalem to be tried. He was executed on 31 May 1962.
