Adolf Eichmann was a central figure in the implementation of the Final Solution. Charged with managing and facilitating the mass deportation of Jews to ghettos and killing centers in the German-occupied East, he was among the major organizers of the Holocaust. His trial was held in 1961 in Jerusalem. Unlike the Nuremberg proceedings, which relied extensively on written documents, the Eichmann Trial put survivors at center stage.
The proceedings of the trial were broadcast around the world. This unique and specialized RU-vid channel contains over 200 hours of trial sessions and a compilation of testimonies. The Channel is a joint effort between Yad Vashem and the Israel State Archives.
