| Summary: | The trial of Adolf Eichmann has always attracted the attention of students of the Holocaust, and for obvious reasons. As an officer in the Reich Security Main Office, Eichmann played an important role in carrying out the forced emigration of Austria's Jews; he also participated in making plans for Poland's Jews in the months after the start of the war, drafted the minutes of the notorious Wannsee conference, and organized—and at times personally supervised—the deportation of Jews from many parts of Europe to their deaths. His capture and secret transfer to Israel and his subsequent trial, conviction, and execution there received extensive media coverage. Questions arose about the legality of his kidnapping in Argentina and the fairness of the trial. |
