The Assassination Of Ricardo Eichmann
To avoid being caught by the Allies, Eichmann and his wife and two kids fled from the country.
They moved to Argentina in 1952.
In Buenos Aires, Eichmann lived as Ricardo Klement, and worked at a Mercedes-Benz factory.
By 1960, however, he was discovered by agents, kidnapped, and brought back to Israel for his trial.
He was sentenced by the court to hang after the trial, on December 15th, 1961.
He died at 56, saying he "would not forget Austria, Germany, and Argentina."
Eichmann was cremated, with his ashes thrown out to the Mediterranean, away from the boundaries of Israel.
