Eichmann trial begins in Israel

On April 11, 1961, the trial of former-Nazi Karl Adolf Eichmann began in Jerusalem, Israel. During the Holocaust, Eichmann was responsible for coordinating the deportation of Jews from Germany and occupied Europe to concentration and extermination camps in Eastern Europe. In 1961, he was captured in Argentina by Israeli commandos and brought to Jerusalem for trial. A panel of three Israel judges found Eichmann guilty on 15 counts, including crimes against humanity, crimes against the Jewish people, and membership in an illegal organization under Israel's Nazi and Nazi Collaborators Law. He was executed by hanging on May 31, 1962. Learn more about the trial of Adolf Eichmann from the Holocaust Education & Archive Research Team.
