To Be Revealed
In Next Few Days
JERUSALEM UFi — The special
Israeli court notified Adolf Eich
mann Tuesday he can expect no
compassion on the question of
mitigating circumstances in the
sentence he will face later this
week. H The maximum penalty
under a special Israeli law is
death.
The tribunal, convicted the for
mer Gestapo colonel on all counts
of a 15-count indictment in the
slaughter of Jews by Nazi Ger
many in World War II and con
cluded the reading of its judg
ment.
Its summation, preceded by a
detailed examination of Eich
mann’s role as an alleged master
mind in the extermination of six
million Jews, was a blanket ver
dict .of guilty.
Conclusions of the three-judge
court supported every claim that ^
Attorney General Gideon Hausner
placed against Eichmann after the
former SS officer was abducted
from Argentina by Israeli secret
agents and flown to Israel, which
came into being three years after
the war.
Presiding Judge Moshe Landau
lashed at Eichmann as a man who
followed orders blindly.
In a state which believes in
the rule of law, no one can get
rid of his liability, his personal
responsibility," Landau said. "A
defense based on superior orders
cannot lead to the acquittal of the
accused. On the question of miti
gation, it arises whether the ac
cused did his best to reduce the
gravity of the offense. Were his
orders manifestily unlawful
Were they repulsive to his heart?”
After asking these questions,
the judge said for the tribunal
that it had to conclude in the
negative.
“The accused well knew that
the extermination was unlawful,
on an enormous scale,” he said.
"All other orders arising from
this were manifestly unlawful. His
oath (to the SS) only strengthen
ed him to carry out his duties
with inner satisfaction."
