"Attending the Eichmann Trial: Only Yesterday...Half a Century Ago."
"I must inform the Kenesset that a short time ago one of the greatest of the Nazi war criminals, Adolf Eichmann, was discovered by the Israel security services and will shortly be placed on trial in Israel…" May 23, 1960, David Ben-Gurion read these words before an astonished Israeli parliament. Dr. Jack Spiro will discuss how his personal experiences in attending the Eichmann trial and its aftermath appear in a larger contextual setting five decades later.
