Eichmann Memoirs Attack Called Forgery By Attorney
In Jerusalem, Adolf Eichmann's counsel labeled memoirs attributed to Eichmann a forgery. Robert Servatius argued that Life magazine material based on Dutch journalist Willem Sassen's Argentina interviews was improperly published without Eichmann’s page-by-page initialing. The prosecutor offered tapes and transcripts to show Eichmann spoke freely, countering claims of duress. The court recesses until Eichmann's defense begins next week.
