As a Mossad agent, Avner Avraham discovered original documents, objects, passports and other original remnants in Mossad files that led him to document the inside story of the historic 1960 capture of Nazi war criminal Adolf Eichmann.
Now he’s joined by Eli Rosenbaum, US Department of Justice prosecutor of Nazi criminals and human rights violators for more than 30 years, and NYU’s Thane Rosenbaum for a fascinating discussion about Israel’s capture and trial of Eichmann, which stunned the world and brought a taste of justice to a fledgling nation traumatized by the Holocaust, and the U.S. government’s role in the case and in other Nazi cases.
This is a 92nd Street Y event.
