* 1/2 “Witness to the Holocaust: The Trial of Adolf Eichmann.”
Lorimar . $39.95.
One of the most sought-after Nazi war criminals is the subject of this ponderous, no-frills documentary. The 90-minute tape consists of excerpts from his 1961 trial, with extensive testimony from survivors of the Holocaust, eye-witness accounts and film clips of Nazi-perpetrated atrocities. Unfortunately, although this is an important historical document, the monotonic presentation will probably preclude the interest of all but the most dedicated historians.
