Nonfiction Reader Response

          Ive learned a lot from my book, so far and it focas' on capturing a very well known and very high powered Nazi named Adolf Eichmann. He killed so many Jews in bloodless enthusiasm. He got rid of any guilt from saying to himself that they were orders from his bosses and that they were orders. The more he did his "orders" and killed and won he grew more obsessed with his work. Jews were a disease that was needed to get rid of by him. As said by him, "They were stealing the breath of life from us." He was truly obsessed with killing Jews and bringing them to an extinction and following through with Hitlers destruction of Hungarian Jewrys said in the book "The Nazi Hunters" it says, "With each challenge, with each victory, he grew a little more obsessive about his work, a little more convinced of its importance, and a little more drawn to the power he held over life and death. Jews were no longer human beings, no longer even units to be moved from one place to another. Jews were a disease. They were stealing the breath of life from us, he wrote..... Zeev ran through the trees until his legs gave out....... Zeev Sapir never forgot the promise Eichmann made in the Munkacs ghetto or the call to justice by his fellow prisoner the moment before his execuition. But many, many years would pass before he was brought forward to remember these things...... Eichmann knew that the Allies would brand him war criminal, and he determined to avoid capture...... The Nazi hunters were Eichmann's trail, finding a photograph for identification purposes was high on their list. In 1947, Jewish agent Manus Diamant was given the task." This explains what I have read recently it goes back and forth between a prisoner pov and Eichmann's Zeev experience all the torture that Eichmann orders, sees death, experiences starvation, is separated by his family, and more horrible things, but he survives it all and is then found by the French and redeveloped and is out of all the torture he has gone from. It goes to the Nazi Hunters trying to track down Eichmann. I thought all these quotes were interesting because I never knew that Eichmann existed and its interesting to see a prisoner survive that long. I find it interesting on how they try to track Eichmann with no technology. I have learned about this man and probably won't forget his name and how mentally messed up he was to try exterminate the Jewish. They were treated like animals and brutally tortured taken away from their families I can't imagine the feeling of being ripped away from your family and then being tortured and killed an having to do labor work just because of their race. This man was seriously a bad guy and was obsessed with his work and hopefully got captured.
