THE TRIAL OF ADOLF EICHMANN

Some thirty years have passed since Adolf Eichmann was put on trial in 1961 before the District Court of Jerusalem and since the appeal against his conviction before the Supreme Court of Israel. But it is only now that it has become possible to publish in English the record of the proceedings before the trial Court, the judgment of that Court and the proceedings and judgment on appeal in the Supreme Court.

In spite of this long delay, the publication of these proceedings has lost none of its importance. In fact, it acquires special meaning at the present time when tendencies of so-called "historical revisionism" have become rife in many countries, with their denial of the very occurrence, or at least the extent, of the catastrophe which the National Socialist regime in Germany brought upon the Jewish People.

In its judgment, the District Court pointed out that the Holocaust of  European Jewry had already been dealt with by the International Military Tribunal at Nuremberg in its judgment at the trial of the Major War Criminals, and also in several subsequent trials. However, in the trial of Adolf Eichmann the persecution and mass murder of Jews in countries under German occupation were central to the proceedings. The Court emphasized that in spite of the manifold grave questions raised by the Holocaust, it remained its duty not to stray into areas outside its defined sphere, but to conduct the trial according to regular criminal procedure. Yet the judges stated they did not lose sight of the moral and educational value implicit in the conduct of the trial, both for the citizens of Israel and for the world in general. Thus, the evidence at this trial of survivors of the Holocaust who poured out their hearts on the witness stand, will certainly provide valuable material for the research worker and the historian.

For the present publication, the translation of the record of proceedings has been fully revised, and whenever necessary has been compared with the transcript in the original language in which the evidence was given and also with the tape recording made at the time. The translation of the judgments of the District Court and the Supreme Court is based on the official version which was published together with the original text of the judgments.

The first five volumes contain the full record of the proceedings in the District Court and on appeal in the Supreme Court, and the sixth volume presents an annotated list of the exhibits submitted at the trial, a glossary and a comprehensive index. All these volumes are printed in two columns, approximately 500 pages 27 x 21cm., cloth bound hard cover. Two further volumes (VII and VIII) reproduce in facsimile Adolf Eichmann's statement in German to the Israel Police prior to theÛtrial, with notes on the contents in English. All the 1,543 documents submitted during the trial are reproduced on microfiche, in Volume IX..
