Adolf Eichmann was captured 50 years ago, on May 11, 1960 outside of Buenos Aires. Eleven days later he was in Israel and on May 23 prime minister David Ben-Gurion stood at the podium of the Knesset and announced this to a hushed crowd.
Eichmann’s capture reignited the world’s outrage over the Holocaust. Up until that time, many desired to move on. After all, Israel had plenty of new and more immediate problems.
