This book, Nazi Hunter, is mainly about the struggle that 5 special people went through to find Adolf Eichmann, a bad man who relentlessly slaughtered millions of Jews, and bring him to trial.

A while later, about a year and a half, a group of Israeli spies spot Eichmann. This sighting
Neal Bascomb wrote The Nazi Hunters due to his interaction with a Holocaust survivor to portray the untold story of the kidnapping of a widely known war criminal. During World War II, Adolf Eichmann was the Nazi commander in charge of sending millions of Jews and other minorities to concentration camps in the Final Solution. After the war ended, Adolf, at fear of his trials, went into hiding. He remained in Germany until he was almost caught by the Mossad, causing him to flee Germany, leaving behind his family. He stayed in Buenos Aires for a couple of years until his wife, Vera, and his three sons joined him. The kids were told that Adolf was not their father, but in fact their uncle, in efforts to remain hidden. Vera Eichmann was unsure of all the war crimes her husband had committed, but still stood by his side.

The Holocaust was a horrific period in which millions of Jews were executed and worked to death by Nazi soldiers, who are also inhumane perpetrators. A perpetrator is someone who executes dangerous immoral acts or crimes. Adolf Eichmann was a Nazi soldier under the rule of Adolf Hitler. One can infer by his status that he was indeed a perpetrator. Eichmann’s reason for the death of so many innocent Jews was that he was simply following orders. He fulfilled his role of being a perpetrator by annihilating millions of Jews.
The trial of Adolf Eichmann took place in Jerusalem, Israel, after Eichmann was found and captured in Argentina by several Jews and other survivors of the Holocaust. Eichmann’s identity at the time, Lothar Hermann, was discovered in 1953 when Simon Wiesenthal received a letter stating that Eichmann had been seen in Buenos Aires. Israeli Prime Minister David Ben-Gurion decided that Eichmann must be captured rather than extradited, and brought to Israel for trial. Eichmann was captured near his home in Buenos Aires on May 11, 1960, where he was taken to a police station in Yagur, Israel. In 1961, Eichmann was on trial in front of three judges: Moshe Landau, Benjamin Halevi, and Yitzhak Raveh. In 1952, Mr. Hugo Black, an American politician who served as a Democratic U.S. Senator, said for a unanimous Supreme Court, “Due process of law is satisfied when one is present in court is convicted of crime after having been fairly apprised of the charges against him and after a fair trial in accordance with constitutional procedural safeguards. There is nothing in the Constitution that requires a court to permit a
As of 1921, Hitler had replaced Anton Drexler as a leader. He was committed to his cause, energetic, and a brilliant speaker, gaining him loyal supporters. Hitler did not have confusing or odd ideas; he had simple and clear ideas that many people agreed with. Hitler also provided the German people with scapegoats to blame for all the problems in Germany. Among these scapegoats were the Allies, the Treaty of Versailles, the socialist politicians who signed the Treaty, and Jews. Hitler's meetings were so successful that his opponents tried to disrupt his meetings, so he established the SA to protect his meetings and disrupt other parties' meetings. As of 1923, Hitler had given the Nazi party a high profile although they were still a relatively
The book “The Nazi Hunters” by Neal Bascomb is a real story of brave Mossad agents who tracked down a Nazi commander with a tip from a Jewish teenager. This takedown materialized over the span of many years because of disbelief that this once righteous man had succumbed to living in slums and the fact that this "Ricardo Klement" looked much older than Eichmann. The surveillance itself lasted weeks with many different eyes. The baker’s dozen of agents had to find Adolf Eichmann and kidnap him on the agency’s pay because Argentina would have never cooperated with an out of the country trial because then the war would be present and their mistakes of supporting the Nazi’s in full view to be scrutinized by the world. When the Mossad’s crazed plan works and Eichmann gets held in a safe house, he willingly tells the interrogator who he is and signs an agreement to hold the trial in Israel. It’s there that Eichmann pays the price of moving an estimated six million Jewish families to their death with his life. He was and still is the only person ever to have to pay for his crime with his life in
Hitler used many tactics to control German society during the Nazi era; his outlook on how women should act is embodied in the Speech to the National Socialist Women’s Association. The speech was given by Gertrud Scholtz-Klink, the organization’s leader, with the intent to convince women to take their place in Hitler’s Nazi movement. The emphasis on women’s natural roles in the home, as mothers and wives, and the discouragement of women’s right are manifested in the persuasive language of national identity and involvement. Hitler uses Scholtz-Klink to fight for the minds of German women in a speech that asks for feminist ideals to be cast aside all for the good of the country.

In response to Hobbs article. It is integral for teacher to be passionate about what they are teaching, and how they are teaching. Although, there is no a formula for a perfect teacher, I believe to key features include passion for the subject and passion for teaching. I have had teachers who love mathematic or English, however, they lack the necessary skills to deliver any effective lesson. I believe passion for teaching allows teacher to gain a deeper understanding of students needs and achievements. Furthermore, passion for teaching allows teacher to be more critically of their teaching practices and able to recognize where they need improvement. Lacking passion for teaching makes it harder for teacher to identify keys areas of problem they
