The Hunt for Adolf Eichmann | Part 5 | Capture, Trial & Legacy | Ancient to Recent | Episode 56

In the conclusion of Ancient to Recent's Eichmann series, Israeli Mossad agents make their move, seizing Adolf Eichmann on a quiet Buenos Aires street and smuggling him out of Argentina under a forged identity.

Inside the Mossad safe house, Eichmann is confronted with the evidence against him and slowly admits who he is. But with his family, former SS associates and Argentina's far-right networks closing in, the operation enters its most dangerous phase.

What follows changes history. Eichmann's trial in Jerusalem, the first to place the Holocaust itself at the centre of an international courtroom, forces the world to confront the full scale of Nazi crimes and the human beings behind every statistic.

How did Israel survive the diplomatic fallout? 

What did Eichmann say in his defence? And what legacy did the trial leave behind?

Join Joseph Parkinson as Ancient to Recent concludes the story of one of the twentieth century's most consequential intelligence operations.
