Ricardo Eichmann

Ricardo Eichmann (born November 1955 in Buenos Aires)[1] is a German archaeologist and director of the Orient Department of the German Archaeological Institute.[2] He was previously a professor of Near Eastern archaeology at the University of Tübingen.[3]

Ricardo Eichmann is the youngest son of Adolf Eichmann and Vera Eichmann (née Liebl).[3][4] He was five years old when his father was captured and taken from Argentina to Israel by Mossad. In 1995, he met Zvi Aharoni, the Mossad agent who was chiefly responsible for his father's capture.[5] Although Ricardo rejected the cause of his father and accepted that his execution was just, Ricardo declines most requests for interviews, wanting to keep his private life private.
