| November 19, 2009 • Anshe Chesed Fairmount Temple 23737 Fairmount Blvd, Beachwood - 7:30 pm Sponsors: Anshe Chesed Fairmount Temple's Arthur J. Lelyveld Center for Jewish Learning and the Ben & Dorothy Berger Speaker Fund FREE and open to the public Neal Bascomb worked as a journalist in London and Dublin before he moved to New York to become an editor at the St. Martin's Press. He has since published four books including Higher, which was a top selection by Barnes and Noble, the best-seller Perfect Mile, and his most recent book Hunting Eichmann, which will be made into a film. Based on groundbreaking new information and interviews, recently declassified documents, and meticulous research, Hunting Eichmann offers the first complete account of one of the most important, influential spy missions in history. Bascombe investigated Eichmann's harrowing fifteen-year chase, discovering key details about the Mossad operation as well as information about how he managed to hide for so long. Hunting Eichman supplies fresh details on the war criminal's life in hiding and his sons' attempts to find him post-capture. Bascomb also reveals fascinating new facts about the time Eichmann was brought to Israel, tried, and sentenced to death. This heart-pounding, hourby- hour account comes as the fiftieth anniversary of Eichmann's capture approaches in 2010. Limited seating
