Opening Reception Today: Sunday, November 8 at 2 pm. Eichmann in My Hands: A collection of works by Peter Malkin

In May 1960, a team of Mossad agents—Israel’s secret service—hunted down and arrested Nazi war criminal Adolf Eichman in Argentina. Among the agents was Peter Malkin, a skilled visual artist. Throughout his mission, Malkin sketched what he saw. The prints in this exhibit are high-quality reproductions of the original pages. This exhibit is generously presented by Michael Staenberg in partnership with the Institute for Holocaust Education and Artists Giving Back, founded by Suzanne Horwich, who also serves as curator of the Malkin collection.
