Adolf Eichmann’s youngest son, breaking the family’s silence, said Monday that he is relieved that his father was hanged for being an architect of the Holocaust.Av Eichmanns tre äldre söner avled Klaus, född 1936, och Horst, född 1940, båda år 2015. De verkar båda ha varit trogna sin pappas minne och ansåg att han var oskyldig. Det gäller även den tredje, Dieter Eichmann, född 1942, som alltjämt tycks vara i livet. Han tycks dock aldrig ha gett några intervjuer. Daily Mail skrev en del om bröderna år 2018.

The 40-year-old Eichmann also said he believed the execution of his father in Israel in 1962 was justified.

However, the toughest questions came at home, from his sons, Gaspar, 8, and Sergej, 6. Earlier this week, an Israeli journalist visited the Eichmanns, sparking the children’s curiosity.
″I told them about the man in the brown shirt and with the black moustache who did many mean things to other people,″ Eichmann recalled. ″I told them that many fathers and grandfathers participated in this, and that their grandpa was among them.″
The children asked what happened to their grandfather. ″I told them he was imprisoned.″ How long? the children asked. ″Two years,″ Eichmann told them. What happened then? the children asked. ″He was sentenced to death and executed,″ came the answer.
How? ″Like in Lucky Luke,″ Eichmann said he told his children, referring to a cowboy comic strip popular in Germany. Gaspar, an avid comics reader, knew immediately what his father meant. ″They hanged him,″ Eichman recalled his son’s answer.
Eichmann said it was difficult to tell his children about the past. ″But I don’t want them to grow up like I did, having to come to grips with all this alone.″
According to the British newspaper, Klaus and Horst died three years ago. The Daily Mail tracked down Eichmann's third son, Dieter, now 76, who lives in an apartment in Buenos Aires, Argentina, a few kilometers away from where Mossad agents kidnapped his father and brought him to Israel where he was brought to justice and hung for his crimes.
Carmen, Horst's former girlfriend, told The Daily Mail the story of the Eichmann family.

Brother Dieter lives with his Italian wife, Martha Valinotti, in an apartment in Buenos Aires, just several kilometers away from where the Mossad abducted his father.
Dieter was a construction manager, who divided his time between Germany and Argentina before retiring. He now owns a number of rental properties.
He has two children and he has never given an interview, but according to Carmen he believes his father was innocent.
The Rommel family did not like the project at the stage of writing the script. The son and granddaughter of General said that in fact he played a much more significant role in the resistance movement than shown in the film. In her only comment, which the media managed to get, granddaughter Catherine Rommel said: "There are a lot of movies, good and bad, about Erwin Rommel. Here comes another one." Relatives refused to give a full interview on this topic. It is also known that the researcher of the biography of Rommel Cornelius Hecht refused to participate in the project, since, according to her, the script was written according to the book of the British historian David Irving, who discredited himself by denying the Holocaust.
