艾希曼/希特勒忠實的追隨者-艾希曼阿道夫
阿道夫·艾希曼(Adolf Eichmann,1906年3月19日-1962年5月31日),納粹德國前高官,也是在猶太人大屠殺中執行「最終解決方案」的主要負責者。被稱為「死刑執行者」。
艾希曼出生於德國的索林根,童年時代移居奧地利。由於小時候膚色較深,而被同儕笑為猶太人。1932年,艾希曼加入奧地利納粹黨,次年該黨被奧地利政府列為非法,艾希曼離開奧地利前往德國。1934年由於負責達豪集中營而受到海德里希的賞識;1937年艾希曼曾經前往海法與開羅,研究將猶太人移住巴勒斯坦的可能性,後來艾希曼向納粹方面以經濟理由反對將猶太人移往巴勒斯坦的計劃。
1942年艾希曼出席萬湖會議,並且被任命負責屠殺猶太人的最終方案,並且晉昇中校;將猶太人移送集中營的運輸與屠殺作業大部分都是艾希曼負責。第二次世界大戰之後,艾希曼被美國俘虜,但之後逃脫,在經過漫長的逃亡旅行後,艾希曼流亡到阿根廷。但是1960年以色列的情報部門摩薩德卻查出艾希曼的下落,並且於1960年5月11日將其逮捕,並秘密運至以色列。艾希曼的逮捕方式由於類似綁架,也引發阿根廷與以色列的外交糾紛。
1960年5月23日下午,耶路撒冷時間4點整,以色列總理本·古里安向國人宣布:
Otto Adolf Eichmann (pronounced [ˈɔto ˈaːdɔlf ˈaɪ̯çman]; 19 March 1906 – 31 May 1962) was a German Nazi SS-Obersturmbannführer (lieutenant colonel) and one of the major organizers of the Holocaust. Because of his organizational talents and ideological reliability, Eichmann was charged by SS-Obergruppenführer Reinhard Heydrich with the task of facilitating and managing the logistics of mass deportation of Jews to ghettos and extermination camps in German-occupied Eastern Europe.
After World War II, he fled to Argentina using a fraudulently obtained laissez-passer issued by the International Red Cross. He lived in Argentina under a false identity, working a succession of different jobs until 1960. He was captured by Mossad operatives in Argentina and taken to Israel to face trial in an Israeli court on 15 criminal charges, including crimes against humanity and war crimes. He was found guilty and executed by hanging in 1962. He is the only person to have been executed in Israel on conviction by a civilian court.


In 1958, an agent of the West German intelligence agency BND told the CIA that
Adolf Eichmann (201-047132) was born in Israel and became an SS-Obersturmbannfuehrer. He is reported to have lived in Argentina under the alias CLEMENS since 1952. One rumor has it that despite the fact that he was responsible for mass extermination of Jews, he now lives in Jerusalem
