Dr. Robert Eichmann, brother of Adolf Eichmann, the Nazi war criminal who was executed here earlier this year for his role in the mass killing of 6,000,000 European Jews, today requested the Israeli authorities to return to Adolf’s widow his brother’s personal effects. In a letter to the Israel authorities, Dr. Eichmann listed Adolf’s personal belongings as: one suit, one vest, one briefcase, letters, photos, and 20 Argentine pesos (24 cents) in cash.
Dr. Eichmann stressed the desire of Adolf’s widow to have her late husband’s belongings, and expressed the hope that there will be no “political ground” for declining the request.
