 * The trial of Adolf Eichmann**

On the advice of family friend Ernst Kaltenbrunner, Eichmann joined the Austrian branch of the NSDAP a.k.a. the Nazi party. He also joined the Schutzstaffel or German for "Protective Squadron" or SS. The SS grew from a small paramilitary unit known as the storm troopers Sturmabteilung that were in charge of storming position this and the name. He also studied all aspects of Jewish culture, and society.He gradually became the acknowledged 'Jewish specialist,' realizing this could have positive implications for his career in the SS.

Eichmann was promoted when the Nazis took power in Germany, and was assigned to the administrative staff of the Dachau concentration camp for political prisoners. He was later transferred to the secret police in German the //Sicherheitspolizei.// In 1937, Eichmann was sent to the British Mandate of Palestine with his superior Herbert Hagen to assess the possibilities of sending the Jew in Germany to Palestine. They never got to Palestine because the British government prevented them from entering. He later formed the Central Office for Jewish Emigration, which was charged with forcibly deporting and expelling Jews from Austria. He made a name for himself in the Central Office for Jewish Emigration, and attended the Wannsee Conference as recording secretary. At the Wannsee conference the Germany's anti-Semitic measures were set down into an official policy of genocide. Eichmann was given the position of Transportation Administrator of the "Final Solution to the Jewish Question". The position made him in charge of all the trains which would carry Jews to the death camps in the territory of occupied Poland. he was sent to Hungary after Germany had occupied that country, there Eichmann at once went to work deporting Jews, sending 400,000 Hungarians to their deaths in the gas chambers. He continued working even when the tests ordered all evidence of the final solution to be destroyed.

Adolf Eichmann duties as an extermination administrator had left him a marked man by the Allies. At the end of World War II, Eichmann was captured by the US Army, who did not know that this man who presented himself as "Otto Eckmann" was in fact a much bigger catch. He'd eight and hid in various parts of Germany for several years. He obtained landing permit for Argentina, and came to Argentina in 1950. He lived under the assumed name of Ricardo Klement for ten years doing several odd jobs from factory foreman, to junior water engineer and professional rabbit farmer.

Bob Dylan (born Robert Allen Zimmerman, May 24, 1941) a American singer-songwriter, author, musician, poet, artist, and, of late, disc jockey who has been a major figure in popular music for five decades. Much of Dylan's most celebrated work are from the 1960s, when he became an informal chronicler and a reluctant figurehead of American unrest. His early songs lyrics incorporated politics, social commentary, philosophy and literary influences, defying existing pop music conventions and appealing widely to the counterculture. He easily switches from singing peace anthems civil rights movements, to mainstream. Dylan's voice was far from melodic, and he is widely regarded as one of the worst harmonica players in history, but his songwriting talents were, and still are, unmatched. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bob_Dylan http://www.bbc.co.uk/dna/h2g2/A2659999 Encarta The Bay of Pigs was an attempt to overthrow the government of Fidel Castro, shortly before John F.

 * Bay of Pigs** from April 15 to April 19, 1961

On April 15 1961 before the invasion three flights of WWII B-26 attacked Cuban airfields. The second wave of air strikes that would finish the Cuban air force was canceled. The reason is that President Kennedy wanted the operation to look as if the Cuban exiles could have planned it. So President Kennedy administration could claim "plausible deniability" and avoid responsibility for the invasion as a U.S. operation.

On April 17, four 2,400-ton chartered transports transported 1,511 Cuban exiles to the Bay of Pigs on the southern coast of Cuba. They were accompanied by two CIA-owned infantry landing crafts (LCI's), containing supplies, ordnance, and equipment. The small army hoped to find support from the local population, intending to cross the island to Havana. The CIA assumed the invasion would spark a popular uprising against Castro. Uniformly the Escambray rebels were contained by the Cuban militia.

After the CIA-trained anti-Castro exiles landed, it soon became evident that the exiles were not going to receive effective support at the site of the invasion and were likely to lose. The Cuban air force still had planes wall the anti-Castro exiles didn’t. The Cuban also out numbered the anti-Castro exiles, and had tanks and artillery support. President Kennedy did not send in any of the armed forces to help the anti-Castro exiles. By the time fighting ended on April 21, 68 exiles were dead and the rest were captured. After 20 months of negotiation with the United States, Cuba released the exiles in exchange for $53 million in food and medicine. After the Bay of Pigs, Castro, fearing the US might try to invade Cuba again, obtained nuclear warheads from the Soviet Union and starting the Cuban Missile Crisis. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bay_of_Pigs_Invasion http://library.thinkquest.org/11046/days/bay_of_pigs.html __Stranger in a Strange Land__ a best-selling 1961 Hugo Award-winning science fiction novel by Robert A.

**Berlin Wall** The Berlin Wall was constructed in August 13, 1961, and separating West Berlin from East Berlin and the rest of East Germany. It was the symbol of the Cold War between the US and the USSR. After World War II, Germany was split-up into four sections for reconstruction by Americans, British, French and Soviets. Also Berlin was split in the four section for the same reason. At the start of the cold war the USSR started to build up their border defenses to prevent free movement of agents in to the Soviet Union. Also prevent people from escaping in the capitalist countries.

The wall was at first a barbed-wire fence, and then made into a wall.In Addition, the whole length of the border between East and West Germany was closed with chain fences, walls, minefields, and other installations. The Berlin wall was a literally Winston Churchill Iron Curtain. After its completion you couldn’t course over the wall unless you had a Visa for day trips and were on the west side. If you were on the east side you couldn’t cross.

There were Escape attempts; there were about 5,000 successful escapes. In the begging some people jumped thru the check points. After the wall was completed, later escape attempts invalid long tunnels, hot air balloons, sliding along aerial wires, flying ultralights, and modified sports car. That wall fell in November 9, 1989 before the fall of the Soviet Union. The Soviet Union lost control of the center nation before the “center” fell. After about a mouth of protesting by the Germans in East Germany the wall was open up. The fall of the Berlin Wall paved the way for German reunification, which was formally concluded on October 3, 1990. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Berlin_Wall
