The capture of Nazi leader Adolf Eichmann by Israeli agents in Argentina in May of 1960—and his subsequent trial and conviction by an Israeli court—electrified the world and sparked an international debate over how and by whom Nazi war criminals should be brought to justice. The historian Deborah Lipstadt examines not only the trial but also the dramatic effect that the courtroom testimony of Holocaust survivors had on a world that until then had commemorated the Holocaust without fully understanding what its victims and survivors had actually experienced.
