Adolf Eichmann

Adolf Eichmann (1906–1962) was a prominent Nazi and one of the major organizers of the “Final Solution.” During the Holocaust, he planned and participated in the mass deportations of Jews from German-occupied and Axis-controlled areas to killing centers. He evaded postwar capture until 1960, when he was abducted and tried in Israel. He was found guilty of crimes against the Jewish people and hanged in 1962.
