A facsimile copy of the Supreme Court's verdict of the trial of the State of Israel against Adolf Eichmann, who was sentenced to death for crimes against the Jewish People and against humanity, under the aegis of the Nazi regime. Presented here is the lengthy verdict of the three judges, Supreme Court Justice Moshe Landau and Justices Benjamin Halevi and Yitzchak Raveh. This scarce document was printed in very limited number - perhaps no more than a couple of dozen - and presented to the members of the police force associated with the trial - one of the defining events in the life of the fledgling State of Israel.
