(JNi.media) Carmen Bretin Lindemann, the daughter-in-law of Adolf Eichmann, who masterminded the Final Solution of Europe’s Jews, was forced to drop out of a mayoral race in Argentina last Thursday, after a Wednesday television interview in which she called Eichmann “grandpa,” and argued that “he wasn’t a bad person, he obeyed orders and did not personally kill anyone.”
Lindemann ran on the “A New Alternative” list, presidential candidate Sergio Massa’s party. However, shortly after her moment in the lime lights, the party expelled her. She published a statement saying: “In order to not hurt my fellow party members in the alliance my immediate resignation is necessary. I want to assure the public that I don’t and never did support the Nazis.” Which, as Newser commented, is a sensible statement that perhaps should be required of everyone running for office in Argentina.
In her interview, Lindemann also explained that “the history that you know is not the real one. The version that you know from movies and books is written by the Jews, and all the world accepts that history.”
SS-Obersturmbannführer Adolf Eichmann was charged by SS-Obergruppenführer Reinhard Heydrich with managing the mass deportation of Jews to ghettos and extermination camps in German-occupied Eastern Europe during World War II. In 1960, he was captured in Argentina by Israel’s intelligence service, tried in Jerusalem by the Jews he hadn’t managed to murder, was found guilty of war crimes and hanged in 1962.
