Following WWII, the Israelis pursued Nazi war criminals all over the world in an endless effort to bring them to justice. The most wanted and most pursued Nazi was Adolph Eichmann, and the Israeli Mossad went to great lengths to find and eventually capture him.The story of Eichmann's apprehension from his Buenos Aires hideout in 1960 is depicted in the famous novel 'The House on Garibaldi Street'. A group of 30 Israeli Mossad agents painstakingly located him and meticulously managed to return him to Israel, where he stood trial and was eventually executed in 1962.
