Glass booth from Eichmann trial’s returns to Israel after years abroad
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleThe glass booth that housed Nazi war criminal Adolf Eichmann during his 1961 trial in Israel has returned to the country after years in US exhibits, the Ynet news site reports.
The booth will be the centerpiece of a new exhibit at the Ghetto Fighters’ House Museum in the Western Galilee.
“It is a powerful relic,” curator Yaara Galor says. “The most enduring image from the trial is of Eichmann sitting inside the booth. It encourages discussion, as does the trial itself — and that may be the only positive thing one can say about the Eichmann trial.”
