Hunting Eichmann & Sir Ben Kingsley's Unhinged Table Read
At 1:40:05 · chapter starts 1:36:45
The pivot comes when Tom recognizes the Argentina film as Operation Finale and the conversation immediately deepens. Bert attempts to reconstruct what he knows about the Eichmann trial — getting some details wrong (the skeptics of the Holocaust were largely outside Israel, not within it) but correctly identifying the trial's world-historical significance as a moment of documented proof. [1] — Nick Kroll "Sir Ben Kingsley arrived at the Operation Finale table read with a leather-bound script decorated with swastikas — the Buddhist peace symbo…" 1:39:25 Nick describes how the Mossad decided to bring back Eichmann as the singular symbolic trial while consciously choosing not to also pursue Mengele in Brazil. Tom, who had read The House on Garibaldi Street, adds the detail that Eichmann's own son exposed his father's identity by bragging to his girlfriend. The segment culminates in Nick's Ben Kingsley story: Kingsley arrived at the table read with a leather-bound script decorated with a swastika (which Nick clarifies is the Buddhist peace symbol that predates the Nazi appropriation), and delivered every single word of his Adolf Eichmann dialogue entirely from memory — turning the pages with the group but never looking down once. The cast was stunned. The episode closes with a brief debate about Holocaust-themed animated films and a final plug for Mating Season.
Sir Ben Kingsley arrived at the Operation Finale table read with a leather-bound script decorated with swastikas — the Buddhist peace symbol, but still — and performed every single Adolf Eichmann line completely from memory. He turned the pages with everyone else but never looked down once. The six actors who kidnap Eichmann in the film sat in stunned silence.
Sir Ben Kingsley arrived at the Operation Finale table read completely memorized, turning pages with the group but never looking down, while his script was covered with swastikas.
The trial of Adolf Eichmann in Israel was pivotal in providing documented proof of the Holocaust to much of the world.
