Nazi Eichmann's passport found in Argentina
The passport used by notorious Nazi war criminal Adolf Eichmann to enter Argentina in 1950 has been found by accident in an archive in Buenos Aires.
The passport, still in good condition, was issued by the International Committee of the Red Cross in Geneva.
Eichmann was one of the main executors of Adolf Hitler's 'final solution', the Nazi genocide of Jews during World War II.
A judge, Maria Servini de Cubria, stumbled upon the document in court archives.
The passport has been handed over to the Holocaust Museum in Buenos Aires, which confirmed the discovery.
After Nazi Germany was defeated by the Allies, Eichmann fled to Argentina where he was tracked down and kidnapped by the Israeli secret service.
He was sentenced to death in 1961 after a trial in Jerusalem and executed by hanging the following year.
Eichmann recommended improvements to the gas ovens used for mass murder in concentration camps where six million Jews were killed during World War II. - AFP
how much would that bad boy go for on Ebay?
Wow. What a piece of history!
Maybe the International Committee of the Red Cross in Geneva should sell it; they were the issuers.
Eichmann’s passport found ping.
Ward Churchill is sad.
You don’t think he hated the real Eichmann, did you?
Ward Churchill will soon be on this like white on rice in a snowstorm.

Don`t think he can use it anymore
This reminds me of our visit last summer with my husband’s grandfather. Papaw pulled from his wallet his passport photo from WWII, then said ‘Dunno why I had to have a passport to get into North Africa - g**damn Germans didn’t need one’
The International Red Cross issued his passport??? No wonder they love the islamofascists.
I wonder if they (Red Cross) were issuing passports during their visit at Guantanamo Bay. / sarc
Who was trying to use it?
I can just see someone trying to get through customs with this.
Agent: “Um, what year were you born? Have you renewed this passport lately?”
Traveler: ‘Ya, eesh vaz born een ... ya... 1906. Und eesh renood dis pahssport een... 1944... Sorry, a beet late, baht dee peekture ees preety gut, ya?”
Does this mean he surrendered his passport while in Argentina or was it just an old expired one exchanged for a more current one?
I bet he was especially ticked if he was one of our guys the French opened fire on.
The way this was done was very, very interesting. I hope someone can post it here...
