After Audio Of Eichmann Admitting Final Solution His Project, Palestinian Authority Seeks To Pay His Heirs

Experts estimate the total amount will exceed eight billion dollars, which accounts for the bulk of the Palestinian Authority’s annual budget, itself largely underwritten by foreign donors.

Ramallah, July 19 – The contents of a 1957 interview with the chief architect of Nazi Germany’s genocide against Jews emerged two weeks ago, to the effect that he enthusiastically managed the logistics of the mechanized laughter, contradicting the man’s contention at his 1962 trial that he served as a mere cog in the system that killed millions – and prompting President Mahmoud Abbas to order his aides to identify and locate the man’s family to give them a generous pension.

Yesterday, Abbas directed officials in charge of “martyr payments” for those who attack and kill Jews to determine the whereabouts of Adolf Eichmann’ surviving relatives and set up a channel to send them funds, with the amount backdated to 1942, plus interest. Experts estimate the total amount will exceed eight billion dollars, which accounts for the bulk of the Palestinian Authority’s annual budget, itself largely underwritten by foreign donors.

Eichmann directed the section of the Schutzstaffel (SS), tasked with implementing the Final Solution to the Jewish Problem during the Second World War. Mobile killing squads had followed the Wehrmacht into Poland in 1939 to target Jews for mass execution, and the same program expanded into former Soviet-held territory when Operation Barbarossa began in June 1941. However, the resources, time, and logistics of exterminating millions of Jews while prosecuting a war required the Third Reich to reconsider its extermination methods; even with enlisting local Jew-haters in occupied areas, the efficiency of the Holocaust by Bullets suffered from inherent human and equipment limits. In early 1942 the SS began operating killing centers to which thousands of Jews at a time were taken by train for killing and disposal; as head of the Gestapo’s “Jewish Section,” Eichmann coordinated the deportations and saw to the confiscation of Jewish property throughout the Reich. After Germany’s defeat he eluded capture as a wanted war criminal and found refuge in Argentina with his family under an assumed name, among other German expatriates, but the Mossad found him and kidnapped him to Israel where the state tried and convicted him for his role in the Holocaust. He was executed in 1962.

Eichmann left behind four children, two of whom are still alive, but only one of those, Palestinian officials acknowledge, is likely to accept the martyr payments; the other repudiated his father’s atrocities. His three older brothers remained staunch supporters of Eichmann’s role in the Third Reich. One of those still lives in Buenos Aires, and Palestinians officials hope he will accept their largesse.
