Twenty years after the murder of European Jewry by the Germans - the Nazis and their aides. Photo album, articles and documents - the trial of the Nazi tyrant Adolf Eichmann in Jerusalem. Haifa, January 1965. Photos and documents about the great Nazi criminals. The struggle for the repeal of the statute of limitations, edited by Tuvia Friedman. On the Protective page, a dedication in the handwriting and signature of Tuvia Friedman to Mr. Moshe A. Yaffe, Director of Heichal Shlomo, October 23, 1968.

An important album with dozens of photographs from the meeting that took place at the Eichmann trial, many photographs of Jews in the concentration camps during the war, and important documents about the crimes of the Nazis who were used to indict Adolf Eichmann.

Tuvia Friedman [1922-2011] A survivor of the Shkolna 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 publishing ads in foreign newspapers offering a $ 10,000 cash prize to informants about Eichmann's whereabouts. As a result, Friedman was inundated with a flood of letters from many countries. One of the letters, which arrived in October 1959 and appeared credible, claimed that Eichmann lived near Buenos Aires, Argentina. It was the first hint as to Eichmann's whereabouts in Argentina. On May 23, Ben-Gurion announced from the Knesset podium that Eichmann had been captured and brought to Israel. Two days later, Friedman handed the Israel Police a file containing 400 pages of material about Eichmann. Friedman worked on collecting this material for nearly 15 years. He also worked to repeal the statute of limitations on German law on Nazi crimes. His struggle was successful in 1979, when it was decided in the Bundestag to repeal the statute of limitations on murder and genocide.
