Who is Sylvia?
Sylvia Hermann was a young woman who played a significant role in assisting Fritz Bauer, German jewish judge and prosecutor, as well as Israeli intelligence, in locating Adolf Eichmann, one of the key architects of the Holocaust, who had been living under an assumed identity in Argentina. In the early 1960s, a team of Israeli Mossad agents, with the help of information provided by Hermann, successfully tracked down Eichmann in Buenos Aires.
Sylvia Hermann's role in providing vital information that led to Eichmann's capture highlights the courage and determination of individuals - as well as the nature of serendipity - who have worked to bring war criminals and perpetrators of mass atrocities to justice.
