After twenty years since the murder of European Jewry by the German - Nazis and their accomplices. Photo album, articles and documents - the trial of the Nazi tyrant Adolf Eichmann in Jerusalem. Haifa, January 1965. Photos and documents about the greatest Nazi criminals. The struggle to abolish the statute of limitations, edited by Tuvia Friedman. On the protective page is a dedication written and signed by Tuvia Friedman to Mr. Moshe A. Yaffe, Director of Heichal Shlomo, 10.23.1968.

Important album accompanied by dozens of photographs from the discussions of the Eichmann trial, as well as many photographs that are hard to view of Jews in concentration camps and ghettos during the war, photographs of the Nazi criminal Adolf Eichmann himself during the war and when he was brought to trial in Israel, photographs of witnesses and Holocaust survivors at the Eichmann trial as they gave their testimony, as well as wartime documents that were used to incriminate Adolf Eichmann and bring about his conviction, and articles published in the Hebrew press even before Eichmann was caught dealing with the search for him - mainly through the efforts of Tuvia Friedman, who had been involved in capturing him for 15 years.

Tuvia Friedman [1922-2011] a survivor of the Schkolne camp who worked all his life to capture the Nazi war criminals, founder and director of the Documentation Institute. His part in capturing Eichmann was significant. On his own initiative, he began to publish ads in foreign newspapers in which a monetary reward of 10,000 dollars was offered to those who provided information about Eichmann's whereabouts. As a result, Friedman was flooded with a flood of letters from many countries. One of the letters that arrived in October 1959 and appeared to be reliable claimed that Eichmann lived near Buenos Aires, Argentina. This was the first thread as to Eichmann's whereabouts in Argentina, which eventually led to his capture by the Israeli Mossad. On May 23, Ben-Gurion announced at the Knesset that Eichmann had been caught and brought to Israel. Two days later, Friedman handed over to the Israel Police a file containing 400 pages of material about Eichmann. He worked on collecting this material for nearly 15 years. Friedman also worked to abolish the statute of limitations in German law for Nazi crimes. His struggle was crowned with success in 1979, when the Bundestag decided to abolish the statute of limitations for the crimes of murder and genocide.

39, [108] p. 29x21 cm. Hardcover with the original dust jacket. Good condition.
