The year silence was broken

Although it was somewhat of a spectacle, the Eichmann trial allowed survivors to finally voice their cries, making Israelis realize that there are personal, horrible holocausts

Sitting on the floor under my mother's chair at the Borochov Studios in Givatayim in the beginning of April 1961, alongside dozens others chairs arranged in a festive circle around an old, humming, Philips radio, I discovered I was part of the Jewish people. It happened when Gideon Hausner opened his speech by saying:

"When I stand here before you, oh judges of Israel, to lead the prosecution of Adolf Eichmann, I do not stand alone. With me here are six million accusers. But they cannot rise to their feet and point their finger at the man in the dock with the cry "J'accuse!" on their lips. For they are now only ashes

Now for another side
Non Jewish version

Adolf Eichmann's list
It is one of the enduring mysteries of the second world war. More than 800 Jews based in this hospital in the middle of Nazi Berlin survived the war, seemingly

Interesting comments:
Where is the proof that any Jew was gassed? This whole "holocaust" story is losing it's power over us now, sixty years out.

Perhaps the "Last Good War" wasn't as black and white as Hollywood and it's conforming historians would have us believe.

Todd, Toronto,

Katzenellenbogen was probably saved by Herman Goering's
intervention, prodded by his wife Emmy Sonnemann Goering. The fact that Emmy Goering had been trying to protect Jewish actors and actresses during the war is well known. Now we know where they wound up. Katzenellenbogen's name was also mentioned in the movie "The Eternal Jew", so he wasn't well thought of by the Nazi's. In Peter Wyden's book "Stella" a reference is made to a reunion of the hospital's nurses in the USA. I wonder how many of the hospital staff are still alive and living there.

"800 Jews that survived in Berlin, even it is a nice story, doesn't mean anything "

I think that it means something to those 800 Jews as well as all of their descendants.

My relative was a Station Master at Lovosice {Czech Republic}
close to Therezienstadt, and he told us stories about Jewish train transports to Switzerland during the war. Where are the witnesses?

Tijana of Belgrade, You missed a lot of the story- especially the parts where it was not so nice. 800 people survived because they were tools of the Nazis. I don't blame them for surviving. But it is interesting and ghastly in its own ingenious way how the Nazis used them to pacify other Jews and International opinion. Personally I find this story astounding- I had no idea 800 Jews could have survived right in the middle of Berlin- and instructive. They (the Nazis) seemed to think of everything... at least when it came to genocide. Then again, they weren't nearly as good as the Russians under Stalin- but that's a whole other story.

You asked "Why nobody asked Eichmann about this hospital in Berlin?"
The simple answer is :It did not fit into the official and "approved" Stories. (Inconvenient)Truth is never important

800 Jews that survived in Berlin, even it is a nice story, doesn't mean anything and does not change the fact that six million Jews were killed directly by orders of Eichman...

In "Eichmann in Jerusalem" Hannah Arendt spoke on this "model camp". Arendt said also that there was an agreement between Nazi, Zionists and the leaders of Jew communities to make the Zionists take to Palestine the young, healthy, rich, important Jews and leave in Germany the Jews considered a too heavy baggage. Why nobody asked Eichmann about this hospital in Berlin?

Russian soldiers fighting their way through the rubble of Berlin in the last days of the war turned the corner of Iranische Strasse, in the district of Wedding, and came across an elegant building almost intact.

I'm sorry, but sometimes I like to point anything Iranian related. This means "Iranian Street" in German.
