Adolf Eichmann was born in Solingen, Germany, on March 19, 1906. As a young man, he drifted from job to job. His jobs included being a mechanical engineer, day laborer, an office worker, and a traveling salesman for Vacuum Oil Company. In 1932, he joined the Nazi Party. In 1933, he joined the “Austrian Legion” which is an association organized in Bavaria for unemployed Nazi Party members from Austria. At the Austrian Legion, he gained a few months of military training. He organized the first actual attempt at mass deportation of about 3,500 Jews from Moravia and Vienna to Nisko on the San River. In October 1940, Eichmann deported over 1.5 million Jews from all over Europe to killing centers. In July 1944, he deported over 440,000 Hungarian Jews. At the end of the war, the US had taken Adolf Eichmann into custody. By 1946, he had escaped. He lived with many allies throughout the years until in 1960, agents of the Israeli Security Service abducted Eichmann and brought him to Israel to stand trial. On December 15, 1961, he was found guilty of many crimes against the Jewish people. On June 1, 1962, he was hung.
