Simon Wiesenthal Center: More Eichmann Documents.

By IsraelWire

Dr Efraim Zorof, director of the Simon Wiesenthal Center in Israel, has told State Attorney Elyakim Rubinstein that when the Eichmann papers are published, they should be published with additional documents. Lawyer Amos Hausner, son of Gideon Hausner, who was the prosecutor in the Eichmann trial, echoed a similar view last week.

In Zorof's opinion, the interview that Eichmann gave to a pro-Nazi Argentinean reporter before being captured should be added to the Eichmann documents. Zorof pointed out that the additional documents would add to knowledge of the Holocaust and would show the personal responsibility of Eichmann and others in the plans for the "Final Solution."

"Eichmann's Memoirs," which a leading German newspaper began publishing last week, were presented at the trial by the prosecution. The memoirs are handwritten on 127 pages, and were written by Eichmann in June 1960 in jail in Israel.

The memoirs are separate from Eichmann's writings penned between his trial and the appeal, and which have never been published. Eichmann's son, Dieter Eichmann, has asked to receive the documents, as his father's legal heir.
