Werner David Melchior as a witness in the Eichman Trial 1961
Yad Vashem has uploaded footage
of the entire trial of Holocaust architect
Adolf Eichmann to YouTube to mark
the 50 years since the ground breaking
court case.
Eichmann, who was captured by Israeli agents in Argentina
in 1960, was brought to Israel and put on trial on April 11,
1961 for his central role in the genocide of some six million
Jews. Eight months later he was sentenced to death, and
was hanged in May 1962.
pukkelryggede is here bringing the testimony
of our Werner David. The first descendant of
Meta & Marcus. The majority of living family
members would never have meet him (died in
1987) but surely all should know about him and
this testimony stands as a unique memorial to
this special person and a must for all to watch.
Here are two versions: (24 minutes each)
