Quotes 

• Avner Less : [after Eichmann's interrogation and trial]  We showed him more justice than he ever showed us.

• Minister Tormer : There's not enough!

  Avner Less : Enough what?

  Minister Tormer : Enough hard evidence that his lawyer can't chip away at in court, or get him extradited to Germany. There's no death penalty in Germany. Which is ironic.

• Avner Less : According to our informants, you intervened and required the nooses to be re-used, because although it was faster to cut them down, a Jewish life was not worth the waste of rope.

• Avner Less : You see, when you realized what really happened here, and there were not only six million Jews who were holocausted, there were many million others. Eichmann was responsible for their death in the same way. It has become really a life's work for me, and it has entirely changed my outlook on many, many things in life, like believing in a true democracy. That's the only thing that can save mankind from people like Eichmann. And there are many,..latently there are many Eichmanns around. But Eichmanns can grow, can rise only in a dictatorship, and a dictatorship, whether from right or left is the same, but never in a true democracy. This is why we have to fight for democracy. To stand up for it. We should do our very utmost never to have this occur again. To prevent Eichmanns to rise again.
