    Event History
    Following his kidnapping from Argentina by Israeli agents, former SS-Obersturmbannfuehrer Adolf Eichmann was put on trial in Jerusalem in April 1961. Eichmann was charged on fifteen different counts in connection with his activities as the head of RSHA department IVB4, responsible for carrying out the "final solution" of the so-called Jewish Question. The most significant of the charges focused on Eichmann's crimes against the Jewish people, crimes against humanity, and war crimes. Also, as a former member of the SS and SD, Eichmann was charged with being a member of an organization declared criminal by the IMT at Nuremberg in October 1946. The trial lasted until December 15, 1961, when the court declared Eichmann guilty on all counts and sentenced him to death. Eichmann's defense subsequently lodged an appeal, but after it was rejected by the Israeli Supreme Court on May 29, 1962, Eichmann was executed by hanging on the night of May 31, 1962.
