The New Yorker, March 16, 1963 P. 58
REPORTER AT LARGE about the trial in Israel of Nazi Adolf Eichmann. This section deals with his capture in Argentina by Israeli Secret Service and then goes into a presentation of the trial. The prosecution had a wealth of material; the defense did not and did not have the time or money to collect it. The trial was held in the country of the victor. The judges were Jews. There were some who argued that the case should have been tried before an international tribunal. Another important objection, by the writer, to the prosecution's case, was that the Nazi crimes should have been considered crimes against humanity rather than just against the Jewish people. Eichmann's guilt was not lessened by the fact that 80 million Germans might have done as he did. Writer concludes that there was supreme justification for the imposition of the death penalty.
