He was a man in his mid 50s, working a factory job. He was liked, considered fairly polite, but he was private and kept to himself. He had a wife and 2 sons, and they all lived together in Argentina.
His dad was a soldier in world war 1, he fought for Germany, but, his government didn't like him, because although he was German, and probably a war hero, he was also a Jew. His dad died from cancer and maybe a broken heart. His widow moved, with her son to the region of Mandatory Palestine. (Today called Israel) Within a year, Germany started sending Jews to concentration camps. Thankfully the boy and his mom were safe, he took on a Jewish name and grew up in Palestine. His name was Zvi Aharoni.
In Argentina, it is 1962, the man in his 50s leaves his factory job and heads towards home on the bus. At his stop he gets off and begins to walk home, there is a man with what looks to be car trouble, he speaks to our main character in Spanish. Suddenly he and 2 other men jump our main character and capture him, they load him into and they and a few other men take him to a safe house and hide him away. Later they smuggle him out of the country and take him to Israel. One of the men is Zvi Aharoni, but why?
Back to the 1940s, there is an important bureaucrat responsible for overseeing the efforts of rounding up Jews and taking them to concentration camps, this guy is bad news, and has completely given himself over to evil. He follows orders, a pastor who confronts him with the limited knowledge he has gets no satisfaction and later gets arrested himself. This man, given over to evil completely disappeared after the war, but the Jews didn't forget. His name was Adolf Eichmann. The name of the man in Argentina? Adolf Eichmann.
