Would you kill Adolf Eichmann's children?

Post by The Grim Squeaker »

The year is 1950 and you are a Jewish Nazi-hunter working in Europe and hunting Adolf Eichmann the man responsible for organizing the final solution, In which you have lost your entire family (including your parents, wife & children).
In a remote European village you track down Eichmann's wife and young children (ages 8 & 11) and set up an alias as an ex SS officer in order to try to find Eichmann through her.

At a certain point you're invited to go on a boat trip in a nearby lake with just you and the children on the boat.

You are now capable of tipping the boat causing the children to die by drowning, without any suspicion by miss Eichmann. You know that Eichmann will find out and that it will pain him immensely (As he loves his children) and may even cause him to make a slip helping you capture him.
Do you do it?


(The Jew on the boat considered it but in the end couldn't do it after thinking of his own wife).

No, not really. The "sins of the fathers" concept isn't exactly something I'd support. I'd rather risk killing Eichmann himself without a trial if it comes to this than any of his children.

I don't get it. Jewish 'nazi hunters' think about killing children to make a nazi 'slip up'? Why not just kill the nazi?

I suppose the Nazi Hunter thought that maybe he might try and attend their funerals, thus making Eichmann come to him, even if that is the case, my answer is no, those children had no control over their father or mothers actions and were just as much casualties of the Nazi's as any wounded soldier.

Absolutely not. Those children had no involvement in their father's crimes.

Isn't punishing children for the sins of their ancestors the exact kind of Old Testament Biblical bullshit we denounce?

This thread is retarded. Because DEATH is retarded. That is all.

P.S. No, I wouldn't. Neither would any other normal person.

Have a very nice day.
