| Description: In 1961, Adolf Eichmann (1906-1962), who was the wartime head of the Gestapo’s Jewish Affairs Office, was tried by the Israelis for implementing the Nazi plan for the annihilation of the Jews. |
| During the Eichmann court proceedings, Taylor worked as a correspondent for radio station WNEW (NYC). He also wrote a series of three articles for the The Spectator (London). These commentaries analyzed the trial’s use as a vehicle of historical education both within and outside Israel, delineated the differences between the Nuremberg and Eichmann proceedings in detailing the scope of the ‘final solution and discussed whether the Eichmann trial would contribute to the healthy growth of international law and custom. |
