Remember seeing this after Eichmann's capture

[wsutton_49 · 9/10 · 20 January 2008]

This episode of Armstrong Circle Theatre is one of the few episodes I have any memory of, probably because it came on the heels of the of Eichmann's capture by the Israelis. I was a 6th grader at the time and I was just becoming more interested in events and recent history. My parents had started letting me stay up a little later to watch more serious TV fare. This show had a profound effect on me as it was the first time I can remember hearing about the Holocaust. Up until this time all I knew of WW II and Germany was Hollywood's version of war, even though we had been stationed in Germany from 1951 to 1954. I somehow remember this episode as a 2-parter but I guess I'm wrong about that if this listing is correct. Anyway, it is one of the few things on TV in those days that stayed with me.
