At the time of the kidnapping, his father was employed at Mercedes-Benz as a technical advisor. Being the youngest of his siblings, Ricardo was unaware of what had happened to his father.

Ties to the father
When Aharoni and other Israeli operatives abducted Ricardo’s father from a location close to their Garibaldi Street home, Ricardo was just five years old. After the war, his father had recently come home from work at “Mercedes-Benz.” The agents even intended to provide the Eichmann family with substantial financial assistance. After that, Ricardo’s mother returned to Germany together with his siblings. At the age of eight at the time.
At that time, Ricardo was unaware of his father’s condition. In actuality, he never expressed any interest in learning about his father’s past. He believed his father had vanished for many years. Ricardo’s mother likewise refrained from discussing his father’s passing. When he got to his early teens, that’s when he finally found out. He used to read articles on his father, who was described as a war criminal with a conviction. His older brothers, Horst, Dieter, and Nicholas, knew the truth about their father, unlike Ricardo. Ricardo eventually lost all emotional ties to his father and his history. He adopted an attitude of reconciliation with the Israeli operatives. He once expressed his desire to travel to the state of Israel.
Ricardo has never expressed any feelings for his dad. Rather, he has expressed gratitude for never having to see his father again. Nevertheless, Ricardo continues to bear the weight of his father’s participation in the horrific “Nazi Holocaust” despite the passage of a long time since the execution. His brothers remain steadfast in their ‘Nazi’ beliefs.
Ricardo did not want to ever disclose his true identity to the public due to his father’s role in one of the most brutal mass murders in recorded history. He even considered renaming himself. However, after he began working at the “University of Tübingen,” he spoke candidly with the media about his father. He acknowledged that he had once been upset with the Israelis for taking his father hostage, but stated he had now moved over these strong emotions.
