Operation Eichmann

Operation Eichmann was a Nazi plan during World War II to secretly transport and murder Europe's Jewish population, primarily by deporting them to extermination camps. Named after Adolf Eichmann, a key Holocaust organizer, the operation involved systematic collection, transportation, and extermination of Jews across occupied countries. It aimed to facilitate the Nazis' goal of genocide while maintaining secrecy to prevent resistance or discovery. After the war, Eichmann was captured by Israel in 1960, leading to his trial and wider public awareness of these crimes.
