Post World War II

At the end of World War II, Eichmann went into hiding. He was briefly captured by the Americans but managed to escape by using a false name and claiming to be a demobilized German Army soldier. Eichmann was able to secure passage to South America, and he left Germany at the start of 1947. He remained in hiding within a Catholic monastery in Italy for a year.

In 1947, Eichmann bought a plane ticket to Buenos Aires under the assumed name Ricardo Klement and, for the next sixteen years, worked in several odd jobs in the Buenos Aires area (from factory foreman, to junior water engineer and professional rabbit farmer). Eichmann had also brought his family to Argentina and had started a completely new life. Argentina at the time was a haven for many Nazis.
