Adolf Eichmann I-SEARCH
Adolf Eichmann The Holocaust, an event in the 1930 's and 40 's that changed the world greatly. It was responsible for the killing of 6 million European Jews. Many people think Adolf Hitler was the evil man who was in charge of the ruthless genocide of these people. However, he is not. Adolf Eichmann is the man responsible for creating the "Final Solution" the plan to extreminate the Jewish race. I had many questions while thinking how I should go about writing this I-SEARCH paper. When I began writing this paper, I knew nothing about Adolf Eichmann. Doing the paper on him was a mere suggestion from my father. I quickly learned that he worked his way up through the S.S. and was put in charge of implementing the "Final Solution". Some of the questions I had were, how was Eichmann put in charge of making the "Final Solution"? When was the plan implemented? What were his feelings about the job he did? Were there any other attempts to remove the Jews before the final plan? My search process was rather lengthy and slow, but I ended up learning a lot about how I wanted to search for items. I began by simply searching "Adolf Eichmann" on Google and found massive amounts of websites. I browsed several and chose a few that had enormous amounts of information. After finding those two, I still was in need of one more source that is not a website. Talking to my father about he, He told me about a film created in 2001, called "Conspiracy". It was an excellent source, capturing the planning for the Final Solution in one meeting, involving many important officials such as Heydrich Himmler and Adolf Eichmann. That was my most difficult to source to get a hold of seeing as it is a movie, but I found it just in time and was able to use it for my writing. The two internet sources I found were loaded with pages information about the Adolf Eichmann and the Final Solution. After going
