‘Why Should I Deny It?’ Holocaust Architect Adolf Eichmann Confesses in Secret Tapes

Amarachi Amadike

National Post, July 7, 2022

Decades after his execution in Israel for crimes against humanity, newly unearthed audio recordings of Adolf Eichmann reveal how the architect of the Holocaust described his role in organizing the “Final Solution.”

 For the first time, the Nazi war criminal, who maintained at his trial that he was nothing more than a “little cog” in the machine, can be heard, in his own words, defending the Holocaust that resulted in the death of six million Jews.

“If we had killed 10.3 million Jews, I would say with satisfaction, ‘Good, we destroyed an enemy,’” Eichmann says in one of the recordings, referring to the total population of Jews in Europe at the time of the Second World War. “Then we would have fulfilled our mission.”

The recordings are contained in a 180-minute Israeli documentary series, The Devil’s Confession: The Lost Eichmann Tapes, which has captivated the nation since its release. It is the first time the recordings have been heard at length, but they have been known to exist for decades, The New York Times reported.
