Continuing from my previous summary blog I talked about the one of two stories that go on in the book. In my previous summary, was the story of how the jewish people saw Eichmann and what he did and how he was a horrible and a cowardly man. The second part of the other side was when a brave young woman by the name of Sylvia Hermann had a boyfriend by the Nick Eichmann. A son of notorious and wanted man. Later on Nick started to boast on how his father should of finish the job and by that he meant that his father should of finished off the whole jewish race like he planned to. Since Sylvia was half jewish because of her father that they kept secret because there was still discrimination in Argentina, they wrote to a german prosecutor and then the whole pursue of Eichmann began.
Strategies I use during the book to get a clearer picture while reading is trying to make prediction in what is going to happened later on in the book but since this book is pretty predicable, I started reading articles on the capture of Eichmann just to get a little bit more background knowledge on Eichmann. This helped me throughout the story because it helped me understand why these teams were so determined to capture and bring Eichmann to justice. It made more sense to me why they were so determined on catching this man because it explain in the book why they wanted to catch Eichmann. Eichmann was a high ranking german officer that was responsible from the deaths the jewish race and other races too. Lastly, I occasionally write down words that I am not sure on what they mean because I tend to get lost in what the author is trying to explain when I don't even know some of the words definitions. Knowing the definitions of the words that I don't know help me because it helps me understand the point the author is trying to get across.
