The C.I.A. and West German intelligence knew that Eichmann was living in Argentina under the name Clemens, aka Ricardo Klement.

Israel's Mossad reportedly did not want to bother Eichman, who was reportedly Jewish.

HOLOCAUST / Eichmann was Jewish.

In 1962, a man who appears to be Eichman's body double was put on trial in Israel.

"The West German government was wary of exposing Eichmann because officials feared what he might reveal about such figures as Hans Globke, a former Nazi government official then serving as a top national security adviser to Chancellor Konrad Adenauer."

"Eichmann had Jewish friends, was employed by Jews as an oil and kerosene salesman, had Jewish relatives by marriage."

In 1939, Adolf Eichmann desribed himself as a Zionist.

Adolph Eichmann went to Palestine in 1937 to negotiate a homeland for the Jews.

Jewish historian David Cesarani, in Eichmann: His Life and Crimes, states that as a child Eichmann was persecuted because he looked Jewish.

Eichmann's stepmother had Jewish relations and Eichman associated with Jews.

Eichmann learned Hebrew, visited Palestine and worked closely with Zionists preparing Jews for emigration. (eichmann was jewish hurricane katrina was a regional)

Israel was alerted to Eichmann's presence in Argentina in 1957, by Fritz Bauer, a Jewish prosecutor in Germany.

Bauer had been tipped off by Lothar Hermann, a Jew in Argentina, whose daughter, Sylvia, had become friends with Eichmann's son.

Bauer alerted the Israeli authorities.

But Mossad closed the case!

(Zvi Aharoni and Yaakov Meidad)

"Only when Bauer insisted did Isser Harel, director of the Israeli spy agency Mossad, dispatch an agent to Argentina to verify the claim.

"Even then there was a delay of four months - in the 1950s the Israeli security... devoted not a single officer exclusively to the business of Nazi hunting."

The Mossad agent met Hermann and insisted on being given fingerprint and identity card evidence; this was not possible.

Mossad closed the case for a second time.
