Prison guard
|
Shalom Nagar (Hebrew: שלום נגר; 1936 or 1938 – 26 November 2024) was a Yemeni-born Israeli prison guard best known for executing Nazi war criminal Adolf Eichmann by hanging. Nagar immigrated to Israel and served in the Israel Defense Forces' Paratroopers Brigade. After working in various security roles, he joined the Israel Prison Service. He was stationed at Ramla Prison when he became one of 22 guards assigned to Eichmann during his trial and imprisonment. Chosen at random, his role as executioner was kept secret for 30 years due to security concerns and revealed only in 1992. Later, Nagar worked as a prison guard in Hebron and as a kosher butcher. He helped establish the Kiryat Arba settlement but left after the Cave of the Patriarchs massacre. His story was featured in the 2010 documentary Hatalyan ("The Hangman") and inspired the novel Eichmann's Executioner.
