Israel’s president, Reuven Rivlin, is to make public on Wednesday unreleased documents, including a handwritten request for clemency from Nazi war criminal Adolf Eichmann.
Rivlin’s office said in a statement the request, to then president Yitzhak Ben-Zvi, would be presented at a ceremony at Rivlin’s official Jerusalem residence to mark International Holocaust Remembrance Day.
