This Date in History: Adolf Eichmann

May 23, 1960: Israeli Premier David Ben-Gurion announced the capture of Adolf Eichmann in Argentina. According to the Israeli government, Eichmann left Argentina "willingly," but the Argentine government demanded his release and return. Ultimately, Argentina took the matter to the United Nations Security Council, which voted eight to zero demanding that Israel provide "appropriate reparations" for the violation of Argentina's sovereignty. Eventually Eichmann would be tried and executed for his participation in the Nazi Holocaust against the Jews.
