- EICHMANN, [KARL] ADOLF (1906-1962). SS officer charged with the destruction
- of millions of Jews. ... He hated the Jews he met in Vienna, a sentiment
- stimulated by attendance at Nazi meetings. "Hitler was right," he said
- later, "when he charged that this one people had intrigued to link as many
- nations as possible against our country and bring about the terrible times
- we are going through." ... In 1932 he became a member of the Austrian Nazi
- party. As a protoge of Ernst Kaltenbrunner, he took part in Nazi
- activities, which brought him to the attention of the Austrian police.
-
- ...he learned that there was an opening in Heinrich Himmler's SD
- (Sicherheitsdienst), the information center for the Gestapo. Himmler, who
- believed that Eichmann could speak Hebrew, made him head of the Scientific
- Museum for Jewish Affairs.... he was promoted rapidly ...
- bersturmbannfuhrer (lieutenant colonel). After service in the Reich Central
- Office of Jewish Emigration, he was made chief of Subsection IV-B-4 of the
- Reichssicherheitshauptamt (RSHA), the Reich Central Security Office, as an
- expert on Jewish affairs. He was present at the Wannsee Conference on
- January 20, 1942, when it was decided to deport Jews to the extermination
- camps. In August 1944 Eichmann reported to Himmler that, although the death
- camps kept fo exact statistics, 4 million jews had died in them and that 2
- million more had been shot or killed by mobile units."
-
- Eichmann was arrested by Israeli agents, in Argentina, and smuggled to
- Israel in May of 1960. He was tried, convicted, and hung (May 31, 1962) for
- crimes against the Jewish people and humanity.
