Ms. Williams was aware of Eichmann’s original proposal at the infamous Wannsee Conference, of annihilating eleven million European Jews. Later, she searched internet extensively, uncovering a lesser-known document detailing how Eichmann generated that number.
Ms. Beth Williams was attending a conference in Jerusalem on the recent rise of neo-Nazis. Israel’s head archivist, surprising everyone, released a hitherto unknown letter of Adolf Eichmann, the main architect of Holocaust. On receiving the death-penalty for his “crime against humanity”, Eichmann sent that letter, hand-written in German, to then President, proclaiming his “complete innocence as a low-level cog in Nazi-machinery”, thus asking for acquittal.

Wow, Sankar, what a powerful piece you have here. No feeling in black and white, in numbers -yet - so much feeling from them.

Horrific to see those people listed like a list of materials or expenses. Truly evil.
