Israel's Holocaust Museum, Yad Vashem has uploaded footage to youtube of the entire trial of Holocaust architect Adolf Eichmann. Eichmann, who was captured by Israeli agents in Argentina in 1960, was brought to Israel and put on trial on April 11, 1961 for his central role in the genocide of some six million Jews. He was sentenced to death and hanged in May 1962. This marks 50 years since the groundbreaking court case.
