The Eichmann Trial

In 1961, history was on trial…in a trial that made history. Just 15 years after the end of WWII, the Holocaust had been largely forgotten. That changed with the capture and trial of Adolf Eichmann, a former Nazi officer hiding in Argentina.

This channel presents all known surviving footage of the trial, the most complete assembly of the trial to date. For the first time in history, this material is presented in chronological order, subtitled and fully-searchable.
