in 1960 in a Dearing operation the
Israeli mosad captured Adolf akman in
Argentina akman was entrusted and became
obsessed with the extermination of the
Jewish people every Grizzly detail of
Hitler's Final Solution fell under his
jurisdiction in the
Gestapo adol fman was the architect of
the Holocaust the mosad secretly
kidnapped akman and transported him to
Israel he stood trial and the court
rejected his defense that he was only
following orders akman was sentenced to
death and on June 1
1962 he was hung in a private and secret
cell his body cremated and his ashes
spread in the med terranean sea Beyond
Israel's
Waters throughout this ordeal there was
a man who was charged with the task of
guarding Amman and who ultimately
carried out his execution and cremation
for more than 40 years the identity of
this person was Kept Secret only after
many decades did the world learn that
the executor of Adolf Amman was Shalom
nagar a Torah observant Jew born in
Yemen orphaned from both his parents at
ages 6 and 8 made aat to Israel at the
age of 12 after his identity as amman's
executioner was made public a German
television station asked Mr nagar if he
would do a story with them about the
final moments of akman nagar agreed to
be interviewed but he insisted that the
filming take place at the K where he
would study Torah daily something the
German broadcaster suggested a studio
without noise without commotion without
people coming and going with proper
lighting with proper equipment shom
kagar was adamant NOP he would consent
to do the interview only if the filming
would take place in the K in the Yeshiva
near his home in Israel they didn't have
a choice the German TV station agreed
and the cameraman photographed all of
the people learning in the K before
Shalom nagar began answering questions
and sharing his experience as Satan's
hangman Shalom kagar recalled that
special precautions were taken to
protect Amman and ensure that he would
not meet an untimely end either from
Jews seeking Vengeance or Nazi
sympathizers who were eager to make sure
Jews won't have the pleasure of hanging
Amman five cells were devoted to this
one prisoner he lived in the innermost
one guards were posted in each of the
four cells between Amman and the outside
world the the responsibility for tasting
amman's food when it came from the
cafeteria fell on Shalom kagar if I did
not die within 3 minutes he said the
food was served to Amman he remembered
his Commander joking about the situation
he said nagar if you die we can replace
you but this prisoner can't be replaced
he described how he hungan cremated him
and how his ashes were cast into the
water in middle of the night he sheared
how he was haunted an entire year
afterwards he felt that Adolf Amman was
pursuing him he would turn around to see
if Amman was not behind him after a year
the dark Visions disappeared at the end
of the fascinating interview the German
journalist asks Shalom nagar why it was
so important for him to be interviewed
in this cramped House of study instead
of in a studio where everyone would have
been more comfortable and spacious
Shalom kagar replied
I knew that this film would be broadcast
on German television and seen by
millions of people I want the German
people to know that not only did the
Jewish people survive physically and we
are here in Israel but that we survived
spiritually our Torah Faith tradition
values and connection to God are as
strong as ever I wanted everybody to see
people sitting and learning the ancient
texts of the Bible and the mishna and
the tal and the codes of Law and of
Jewish spiritual
literature Shalom kagar passed away last
month on the 26 of kesin 5785 November
27th
2024 at the age of 88 he had the great
Merit to rid the world of one of its
most evil human beings Shalom kagar
captured that most powerful verse in
Psalms we say each day of Kaneka in the
I will not die but live King David says
and will Proclaim what God has done in
each generation Our People collectively
and individually have declared I will
not die we will not die but live and
will Proclaim what God has done this is
what we did after the Holocaust this is
what we shall do today again
happy hanaka
