This engrossing docudrama incorporates real testimony; transcripts of candid interviews Eichmann gave in hiding. After WWII, SS officer Adolf Eichmann, the architect of The Final Solution, lived a modest if clandestine life in Argentina among German expatriates and sympathizers. Though he was on the most wanted list of war criminals, Israeli and German police were skeptical of what some Argentinian Jews knew all too well: that Eichmann was alive and escaping justice. In a twist of fate, Eichmann’s teenage son dated the daughter of Lothar Hermann, a nearly-blind Holocaust survivor who helps the Israelis bring Eichmann to Jerusalem. This satisfying and suspenseful film dramatizes an important episode in Jewish history.
Special Guest: Director Raymond Ley
