Israel Prepares for Eichmann Trial

 

April 10, 1961: Israel is preparing for the trial of Adolf Eichmann, the former Nazi Gestapo chief of Jewish affairs, who is accused of crimes against the Jewish people and crimes against humanity. Eichmann’s trial lasted for most of 1961, and he wasn’t executed until May 31, 1962, after exhausting his appeals. I can’t post all of the hundreds of reports and analysis pieces on the Eichmann trial (so many stories, only one Larry Harnisch), so I’m asking Daily Mirror readers how much interest they have in seeing any of this material. My experience has been that extended posts about continuing news events (the 1960 Democratic and Republican conventions or the assassination of Robert F. Kennedy) are labor-intensive and don’t draw much readership. Now is your time to tell me what you would like. email me

For those of us in school -- at my age -- that learned about this, it is comforting to get an unbiased (or straight) look at what happened. I don't think that it's fair to say that I understand it, but I can comprehend it a little more. Thanks.

Also, I know this pertains to the FlashBacks that you do here and I get why these types of articles draw little attention. FlashBacks have a picture of the front page and that is probably why we like them. Either way, I was glad to be able to have these to read.

Thank You.
