WELCOME HOME!!! I am so glad to be back home. Hubby and I were in Tuscon, Arizona last week. I wish I could say it was for vacation, but sadly it was not. My father passed a few months ago and there was business that needed to be taken care of. I was so happy to be back on Saturday, and we got home early enough for me to do one of my most favorite things when I have been gone a long time. Checking what has changed in the garden. I inspect the garden every day, so five days of change is a big deal. The garden did not disappoint. The warmer weather caused the clematis to explode with huge purple flowers, and the bearded iris joined in the party. My passion vine decided to go crazy with growth while I was away, as well and took advantage of my absence and stretched out much further than I want. Gotta get that guy under control before it’s too late. So much to do in the garden this week. Right where I want to be.

by Gabriel Bach, Yael Roseman
Genre: Biographies & Memoirs | Law
FREE for a limited time
A Jewish boy physically kicked out of Germany later to become a prosecutor of Adolph Eichmann – the main designer and executioner of the Nazi “Final Solution”.
November 1938, Germany. The Bach Family is on the train – leaving Nazi Germany at the very last moment – two weeks before the notorious “Crystal Night” (‘Kristallnacht’) – which marks the beginning of the first step in the Nazi extermination plan- the massive arrest of Jewish men in Germany. The train is heading towards Holland as a stopover on the family’s way to the Land of Israel (then “Palestine”). Once reaching the border, they hear an SS officer shouting their name: “Where is the Bach family? Get off the train now, with your luggage!” All their belongings are scattered on the ground for the search. The train is about to leave… Finally the order comes: “Okay, take your luggage and get out of here!”
Gabriel Bach – a skinny eleven-year-old boy, finds himself standing on the platform with a heavy suitcase. Suddenly, an SS officer appears behind Gabriel and gives him a strong kick, which lifts him and his suitcase from the platform back onto the train. “I will never forget” says Gabriel Bach in his stunning memoir, “the fact that I was literally kicked out of Germany by the Nazis.”
22 years later, in 1960, that boy, now Deputy State Attorney in Israel Gabriel Bach is appointed as the person in charge of the investigation of Adolph Eichmann, the main designer and executioner of the Nazi “Final Solution”. Then, In April 1961 he becomes one of the three prosecuting attorneys, representing the State of Israel in one of the most talked about court cases in history, The Eichmann trial, which continues to this day to arouse a lot of interest all over the world.
Since then Gabriel Bach held over the years various high positions in the legal system in Israel. As the State Attorney of Israel and, later on, as Justice of the Supreme Court, he was at the center of many other fascinating public, social and political affairs that stirred up the country, which are described in this biography, enabling the reader to understand central issues that Israeli society has dealt with during its first 50 years.
Yet, of all the chapters in his long career, he regards the privilege he has had to speak in court on behalf of the 6 million Jews who were murdered by the Nazis as the event that has had the most profound impact on him professionally and personally. Over the years he has travelled to many countries to speak in front of various audiences, particularly in Germany, about the Eichmann trial and about genocide and crimes against humanity, guided by a sense of mission to raise consciousness to the Holocaust and its implications.
