Eichmann trial made Holocaust author Ka-Tzetnik famous when he collapsed testifying.

Evidence

It is not by accident that Tom Segev opens his book The Seventh Million with a powerful evocation of Ka-tzetnik. The Seventh Million documents what is perhaps one of the most disturbing psychic continuities linking the Nazi period to “our cultural history,” that is, as Yizhar’s “The Prisoner” shows, the history oflsrael, as well as the history of Palestine, indeed, the Jew, the Arab. … Ka-tzetnik, the “author,” became famous later than his books-among the first Holocaust books in Hebrew-at least later than the first ones. This personal fame came with the Eichmann trial, where he began to testifY, only to collapse at what Segev describes as “the most dramatic moment of the trial, one of the most dramatic moments in the country’s history” (4). — Gil Anidjar, The Jew, the Arab, 721
