I heard Lipstadt’s interview with Charlie Rose on her book “The Eichmann Trial.” Important! She said the Israeli government was going to let Eichmann die in obscurity. Ben Gurion, in a moment of genius, decided to put him on trial for the world to see because the Nuremberg Trial did not create a lasting memory. He said the Eichmann trial will provide individual eye-witness accounts from former prisoners.
In the documentary of Eichmann’s trial, the impact of the Israeli audience on first seeing Eichmann was audible. They were shocked to see a rat-like little man in a witness booth protected by glass walls; they could not believe that he was the size and shape of an ordinary man like any other man.
