Lieutenant William Frederick “Bill” Harris was 25 years old when captured by Japanese forces during the Battle of Corregidor in May 1942. This son of a decorated Marine general escaped from hell on earth by swimming eight hours through a shark-infested bay; but his harrowing ordeal had just begun.

In this audiobook, you will learn more about the life of Eichmann, someone who had been slowly getting used to the idea that supposedly, the Jews were inferior and were allegedly a problem for the German civilization. He would become devoted during World War II, to solve this “problem” and find many Jews to arrange for their transportation to death camps and gas chambers in Poland. Adolf Eichmann is a typical of example of what can go wrong with a culture of hate, propaganda, and gradual brainwashing techniques that dehumanize entire populations or peoples.
