“Interesting. I skimmed the parts in Israel - just not as fascinated by the jurisdiction arguments and the trial. The thing about Eichmann - he was not that interesting a human, but he was the best they had left after Hitler, Goebbels, and Himmler killed themselves, Bormann (and, earlier, Heydrich) got offed, and Goering ate cyanide before swinging. Kind of anti-climatic. The trial was important, but in a way you just wish they'd have taken him out one dark night in Buenos Aires. Or done worse. So much injustice.”
