'If we had killed 10.3 million Jews, I would say with satisfaction, "Good, we destroyed an enemy"': Nazi Holocaust architect Adolf Eichmann is heard admitting to devising Final Solution in newly unearthed tapes
HARRIET ALEXANDER | PUBLISHED: 00:31 EDT, 5 July 2022 | UPDATED: 07:36 EDTAudio recordings of the architect of the Holocaust boasting about his actions have been made public for the first time, 60 years after his execution for crimes against humanity.
Adolf Eichmann recorded 70 hours of interviews in Argentina, having fled to Buenos Aires after the war. The audio has remained under lock and key and is only being broadcast now thanks to the dogged efforts of a team of Israeli documentary makers.
They were given 15 hours of surviving recordings - the interviewer taped over much of the rest - in which Eichmann, who went to the gallows denying his crimes, admits to his role in what he infamously dubbed his 'Final Solution.'
'If we had killed 10.3 million Jews, I would say with satisfaction, 'Good, we destroyed an enemy,'' Eichmann says.
'Then we would have fulfilled our mission.' . . .

I am still haunted by Eichmann's response to Rafi Eitan when asked how Eichmann could look at his own son while sending someone his own son's age to a nazi death camp. Eichmann responded, "But they were Jews." Never forget this. Never. Never underestimate the potential evil of the human condition.
