Moshe Landau Dies at 99; Oversaw Eichmann Trial
Moshe Landau, the presiding judge in the war-crimes trial of Adolf Eichmann, died at his home in Jerusalem on Sunday, the eve of Israel’s Holocaust Remembrance Day. He was 99.
The Israeli government announced the death, which occurred nearly 50 years after Justice Landau read out the verdict in the trial, bluntly telling Eichmann in December 1961, “The court finds you guilty.”
