Here is a calendar of upcoming events, up and down the country. Some are organized by us, others by like-minded organizations and groups.
This is a presentation about an historic trial of international importance, which resonates today as it did in 1961. Adolf Eichmann’s capture and trial in Jerusalem in 1961 captivated world attention at a time when Israel was a fledgling state. It exposed to the world the horrors of genocide by allowing ordinary people to tell their stories and grappled with complex legal issues that are still relevant today. Gideon Hausner was the Chief Prosecutor and in his opening address he stated:
“I am not standing alone. With me are six million accusers, but they cannot rise to their feet and point an accusing finger. Their ashes are piled up on the hills of Auschwitz and in the fields of Treblinka and are strewn in the forests of Poland …”
His son Amos followed his father into law and went on to shape law in a range of legal arenas. Reflecting on the trial and how it has shaped his world, Amos Hausner will address the legal issues and a range of other aspects.
