60 years ago, we saw the face of evil
It has been 60 years since the trial of Adolf Eichmann, which was the first-ever televised trial and was watched by millions of people around the world. For many, this was the first time they learned of the true horrors of the Holocaust, and the atrocities of the Nazis made front-page news.
