The first exhibition in the United States to fully document the pursuit, capture, extradition, and trial of a Nazi war criminal. The dramatic story behind one of the world’s most notorious escaped Nazi war criminals being brought to justice is told using recently declassified artifacts from the Mossad. The exhibition includes objects and images made available outside the country for the first time—original 1960s-era artifacts, photographs, Telly Award-winning films, and audio, as well as contemporary design elements and interactive features, to tell a story of espionage, intrigue, and ultimately, justice served.

Designed as a multi-venue traveling exhibition, it was critical to establish a universal design approach that feels relevant to today’s audience and retell this compelling story. The visual design system derived and implemented showcases the real drama of Eichmann’s capture—while keeping the mission to detain him undercover and undetected. Strong typographical language, detailed crops of intelligence maps, and documentation are used to inform visitors of how the story unfolded dynamically while keeping the suspense and escalation of his trial and ending. Giving hope, voice, and resilience to the survivors who he inflicted during trial and conviction.
