When Eichmann Knocked on Our Door

Gideon Hausner, Attorney General of Israel, conducted the trial of Adolf Eichmann, the Nazi ideologist and performer of "The Final Solution" aimed at murdering Jews, which ended with the killing of 6 million people. The surviving witnesses refused at first to testify, and had to be persuaded to expose their unbelievable suffering in a warm atmosphere at the Hausner's Jerusalem home. Tamar (14) and Amos (11), Gideon's children, listened behind closed doors and heard things they will never forget. Tamar expresses her emotions and feelings. Amos details his insight as a lawyer of the trial's formidable challenges. What an amazing combination. The Epilogue (written after the book was published) compares the awful crimes committed by Hamas on the "Black Saturday" to those committed by the Nazis in the Holocaust. Many survivors define the 7th of October as one day Holocaust.
