**__ Adolf Eichmann  __** Adolf Eichmann, a perpetrator, was born on March 19th 1906 in Solingen, Germany. Eichmann comes from German heritage. At the age of seven the Eichmann family moved to Linz, Austria. In 1932 Ernst Kaltenbrunner recruited Adolf into the Nazi party.
 * (Perpetrator) **

Throughout the rise of the Nazi party Adolf Eichmann played a big role in transporting millions of Jews to death and concentration camps. After the war ended Eichmann fled to Italy and later to Argentina under the name of Ricardo Klement. After eight years of living in Argentina, Israeli agents went looking for him. Two years later Adolf was found and tried in 1961. He was indicted on fifteen counts including: crimes against the Jewish people, crimes against humanity, war crimes, and membership in various criminal organizations, including the SS, the Security Service (SD), and the Gestapo. Other charges were crimes against the Poles, Slovenes, Roma, and Czechs. Also Eichmann was found guilty on all counts as a key figure in the “Final Solution.” Adolf was sentenced to death and was executed.

In my opinion Adolf Eichmann is a perpetrator. A perpetrator is a person who does something that is morally wrong or criminal. Eichmann is a perpetrator because he helped kill millions of Jews and he found his work “fascinating” and he got “uncommon joy” out of it. Adolf’s morals were wrong and he acted as a criminal therefore he obviously was a perpetrator.
