A chilling suite of photographs that were apparently printed in conjunction with the later trial of Adolf Eichmann, who was referred to as "the architect of the Holocaust." Eichmann had fled Germany after the war, resettling in Argentina, where he established a new identity. He was tried in 1961 and hanged the following year.
