This book is a documentary presentation of the case prosecuting attorneys could present against the captured Nazi war criminal, Adolf Eichmann. Using affidavits, testimony from the Nuremberg trials, captured German documents, statements made by ranking Nazis, reports from concentration camp commandants, guards, Einsatz groups and survivors, Henry A. Zeiger tells the whole Eichmann story. There is a composite portrait of the man himself by the people who knew him intimately: Dieter Wisliceny, Eichmann's subordinate in Slovakia; Kaltenbrunner, Head of the Gestapo; H?ss, commandant of Auschwitz. Eichmann, alone among the top-level masterminds of the anti-Jewish conspiracy, managed to escape allied retribution, though was finally captured. Readers learn how the hideous Nazi plan for the mass murder of the Jews evolved. Readers see the major part Eichmann played in the abortive Nazi attempt to barter the lives of thousands of Hungarian Jews for war supplies. What emerges from the thorough documentation and terse, perceptive commentary is the complete Eichmann story, from its historical beginnings to the present moment. It is not only the story of the man who is the current symbol of Nazi barbarism. It is, as well, the story of inhumanity in the 20th Century.
