The Devil’s Confession: The Lost Eichmann Tapes unearths secret recordings of Adolf Eichmann recorded in Buenos Aires in 1957 by Dutch journalist and former SS-Officer Willem Sassen. A few weeks before the opening of the Eichmann trial in 1961, transcripts of these recorded conversations were mysteriously handed over to prosecutor Gideon Hausner. But could Hausner use them as evidence? Did the Israeli government want the contents revealed in their entirety? Where were the actual tapes and how would our understanding of Eichmann changed had they been heard at the trial? .For the first time, we will confront Eichmann with himself in full color, revealing his inner thoughts and the hidden factors and motives that succeeded in hiding these recordings.
