65 years ago, the world watched as Adolf Eichmann stood trial in Jerusalem — a landmark moment that transformed global understanding of the Holocaust and demanded moral reckoning from a still-recovering world. This historic trial became possible after Israeli Mossad agents captured Eichmann in Argentina, aided by essential intelligence from German Jew Fritz Bauer, the Hessian attorney general. In this lecture, historian Anette Isaacs pays tribute to Bauer, a courageous figure who not only helped make the Eichmann trial possible but later initiated the Frankfurt Auschwitz Trials of the 1960s, compelling post-war German society to confront its guilt and denial.
