Now I see these billboards all over with 'The Man Who Captured Eichmann,' and I look at it like a dream.

He was nominated for an Emmy again in 1997 for portraying Adolf Eichmann in The Man Who Captured Eichmann.

"They were involved in something down in Argentina, and in capturing Mengele and Eichmann, but four?"

When Prime Minister David Ben-Gurion gave the go-ahead to capture Eichmann, it was with the aim of presenting the worst catastrophe in Jewish history to the nation and to the world.

But when Shamron needs money, he just lays a hand on the shoulder of a rich friend and tells him the story of how he captured Eichmann.

Isser Harel, Chief Executive of the Secret Services of Israel (1952-1963), personally presided over the successful effort to capture Eichmann in Buenos Aires.

In an interview in 2003 with Midstream magazine, a monthly Jewish review, he explained, "Obviously, we couldn't tell people, 'We are going to capture Eichmann, so please stay away."'

In 1996, he was in Buenos Aires filming "The Man Who Captured Eichmann" when he encountered Ms. Pedraza, a then a 24-year-old events planner, on the street.

It is possible that he did so with the knowledge of the Jewish leadership in the hope of obtaining help in recovering stolen Jewish assets and capturing Eichmann in return.
