SAMPLE
Preview the reference style
Entry: Eichmann, Adolf — capture (1960)
Pages 147–148. Evidence: Documented. Source note: Israel State Archives; USHMM; Yad Vashem.
Israeli agents captured Nazi official Adolf Eichmann in Argentina in May 1960 and secretly transported him to Israel for trial. The entry separates the event from its later reconstruction and records the strongest defensible public attribution.
Director dossier: Zamir, Zvi (1968–1974)
Pages 62–71. Evidence: Documented. Leads the War of Attrition, the Munich aftermath, and the pre-1973 warning debate.
Includes direct engagement with the Ashraf Marwan meeting and archival records of the pre-war warning problem.
