About this ebook

Hunting Eichmann
How A Band of Survivors and A Young Spy Agency Chased Down the World’s Most Notorious Nazi
Summary and Analysis
By Summary Station

There are few people that can claim responsibility for the terror that was inflicted on the Jews. One such man was Adolf Eichmann. As he was one of the men that was considered the Architect of the Holocaust, he gave orders to gather Jews into ghettos before stuffing them into trains and sending them to concentration camps. 6 million of those Jews were killed in merciless ways. When the World War II came to a close, many of the high ranking Nazi officials either committed Suicide or fled the country with new identities. Adolf Eichmann was in that second group, living without repercussion from his actions for many years before being captured and sent to stand trial in Israel.

    Summary of Hunting Eichmann From Neal Bascomb - Summary Station

    Adolf Eichmann, also known as The Master was put in charge of organizing the Jews and sending them away to concentration camps and the like. On Sunday, March 19th 1944, Eichmann was standing in what would become one of many concentration camps; from there he led a long convoy of SS members into Hungary. As Eichmann and his men rolled along the trail, Hitler ordered troops of men to invade the capital city of Hungary and seize strategic positions. Eichmann was methodic in his annihilation of the Jews.

    First, he would isolate them. He would mark them with yellow stars so that they could not travel or use any form of communication as well as banning them from a number of occupations including civil service. After the isolation stage, he would collect every form of wealth owned by the Jews. From bank account to businesses all the way down to their ration cards, they would have nothing to leave behind. He would then remove the Jews from their homes and march them to a holding area where they would be kept before being shipped to the concentration camps.

    One man named Zeev Sapir was taken from his home and family in Hungry and forced to labor in the Coal mines before beginning a two day walk to an unknown location.

The remaining men were taken to the Gleiwitz concentration camp where they slept for a night. In the morning, the men were marched out to the forest and mowed down by machine gun fire as they ran. Zeev fell and was knocked out. He was soon rescued by the Russians. He would later testify in the trial against Eichmann.

    Chapter 2

    Beginning as early as 1941, code breakers from Brittan would receive word about the many horrific acts that were being committed against the Jews. In 1942, two Slovakian Jews escaped the Auschwitz-Birkenau camp and relayed accounts of how many people were being brought to the camps, where they were from and that they died in the gas chambers.

    This report soon resulted in a sudden, almost overwhelming number of protests from across the world. One from President
