The Trial of Adolf Eichmann

Criminal case 40-61: the 1961 trial of Adolf Eichmann, the notorious Nazi who was brought up on 15 charges for his role in engineering the deaths of millions of Jews during the Holocaust. From the use of the bulletproof glass booth to the terrifying testimonies of the victimized survivors, this outstanding video, hosted by David Brinkley, presents the historic trial in the making. Not only does it document the 15-year manhunt of Eichmann, but it also includes the strategies of the Israeli prosecuting team, and through photos and footage, follows the trail of Eichmann's genocidal atrocities across Europe. In the end, three judges would try to "punish" one man who killed 12,000 people a day. A powerful addition to the growing body of "must-have" Holocaust films. Highly recommended. Editor's Choice.
