ABSTRACT
In the course of preparing for Eichmann’s trial, an Israeli policeman had occasion to describe his suffering at the hands of the Nazis. When he spoke of the eighty strokes with a rod that he had once received, he met with disbelief. He put the voice of doubt then expressed which claimed that he could not have survived such a beating as being on a par with the criminal action of the Nazi who administered a beating. ‘I’ve just received the eighty-first blow’, he declared.
