Nicolas Eichmann, 25, whose father is on trial in Jerusalem for the murder of 6, 000, 000 Jews in Europe during the Second World War, arrived in Washington this weekend, having received a United States visa to engage in propaganda here on behalf of his father.
In an interview with the Washington Post, Eichmann said that his father had saved “the Jews who are now living very healthy, very rich, maybe. Will they testify? No, no, you can’t get this out of a Jew.” Young Eichmann said that he had read that “Jews don’t behave like citizens in America. “
“Five million Jews did not die, ” Eichmann’s son said. “Not even two million. This is a figure out of the sky. My father is unguilty of every charge. They may charge him only about things like allowing the Jews to go out from Germany. Legally and illegally, he emigrated 100,000 Jews, gave them passports–1939, 1940 and 1941. “
Martin Bormann, Hitler’s deputy, is still alive, young Eichmann said. “He is not as poor as my father was. Not even the Jews with millions of dollars can get him. Always the same. That one who has nothing is going to be blamed for everything. One who has everything gets away. “
United States Government sources said that Nicolas Eichmann had been granted a visitor’s visa because he has been neither charged nor convicted of any crimes. They noted that he is free to express his individual views on issues affecting Jews.
