The two San Francisco Examiner newspapers document the Nazi war criminal Adolf Eichmann trial. Eichmann was one of the most
pivotal actors in the implementation of the "Final Solution." Charged with managing and facilitating the mass deportation
of Jews to ghettos and killing centers. He was a principal organizer of the Holocaust. The Eichmann trial began on April 11,
1961, in Jerusalem, Israel, and sparked international interest in the events of the Holocaust. The proceedings were one of
the first trials widely televised and brought Nazi atrocities to a worldwide audience. He was found guilty of several of the
charges asserted in the indictment and was sentenced to death.
