Take a virtual tour of the exhibit "Operation Finale: The Capture and Trial of Adolf Eichmann."

The Nazi responsible for the murder of millions of innocent people may well have lived out his days in Argentina as “Ricardo Klement”—until fate, a Holocaust survivor, and Israel’s foreign intelligence service intervened.

Explore recently declassified artifacts and immersive multimedia presentations that reveal the secret history behind the capture, extradition, and trial of one of the world’s most notorious war criminals.

Operation Finale documents one of the great spy thrillers of the 20th century, examines the enormity of the crimes committed during the Nazi regime, and calls on us to consider the meaning of justice and accountability.
