Adolf Eichmann's trial before an Israeli court in Jerusalem began on April 11, 1961. He was indicted on 15 criminal charges, including crimes against humanity, crimes against the Jewish people and membership in an outlawed organization. In accordance with Israeli criminal procedure, the trial was presided over by three judges: Jacob Baror, Benjamin Halevi and Yitzhak Raveh. Gideon Hausner, the Israeli attorney general, served as chief prosecutor. The three judges sat high atop a plain dais. The trial was held at Beit Ha'am (House of the People), a new auditorium in downtown Jerusalem. Eichmann sat inside a bulletproof glass booth to protect him from victim's families.
