English subtitles for clip: File:1961-04-13 Tale Of Century - Eichmann Tried For War Crimes.ogv

1
00:00:05,830 --> 00:00:09,712
A story that had a grim preface
in the horror of Nazi concentration camps

2
00:00:09,747 --> 00:00:12,489
comes to an equally grim end in Israel,

3
00:00:12,535 --> 00:00:16,760
as Adolf Eichmann is sentenced
for his crimes against humanity.

4
00:00:16,760 --> 00:00:19,680
Defence attorney Robert Servatius
will automatically appeal

5
00:00:19,680 --> 00:00:21,711
but this is the end for Eichmann

6
00:00:21,760 --> 00:00:25,492
who was seized in Buenos Aires
in 1960 and spirited to Israel.

7
00:00:25,651 --> 00:00:27,904
The three judges started
to study the evidence

8
00:00:27,937 --> 00:00:30,532
when the four-month trial ended in August

9
00:00:30,631 --> 00:00:34,017
and found Eichmann guilty
on fifteen counts of the indictment.

10
00:00:34,141 --> 00:00:38,866
In his bullet-proof booth, Eichmann sits
stoically as the charges are summed up.

11
00:00:38,916 --> 00:00:41,737
The unseen witnesses against
this former Gestapo Colonel

12
00:00:41,788 --> 00:00:45,794
are the six million Jews
he is convicted of slaughtering.

13
00:00:47,793 --> 00:00:51,384
Judges then call on the defendant to stand
as they pass their sentence.

14
00:00:51,384 --> 00:00:53,926
The end of a trail of blood and horror,

15
00:00:53,963 --> 00:00:57,019
the end of a man whose name
will be written in infamy.

16
00:00:57,053 --> 00:01:00,725
A man who escaped the Nuremberg War Trials
by fleeing to South America

17
00:01:00,751 --> 00:01:02,271
receives justice

18
00:01:02,297 --> 00:01:06,332
at the hands of the people
whom he had aimed to wipe out.
