SESSION 101 of the trial of Adolf Eichmann took place in the afternoon of Tuesday, July 18, 1961. In this session, Attorney General Gideon Hausner continues his cross-examination of Eichmann, which began two weeks earlier in SESSION 88. Topics discussed include: Eichmann’s contacts with advisers of Jewish Affairs; requests for exemptions, with Eichmann refuting several documents appearing to show that he could choose to exempt specific Jews from expulsion to concentration camps; his involvement in the disappearance of the children of Lidice; the meaning of the term ‘special treatment’ (a euphemism for extermination used by the Nazis in documentation); and Eichmann’s involvement in procuring skeletons for a museum in Strasbourg.

The vast majority of SESSION 101 survives, with only the last couple of minutes missing.
