Description:
In previously unheard bombshell audiotapes, the architect of Hitler’s Final Solution boasts about his role and motives during the Holocaust. Six decades after his trial and execution in Israel, these long-hidden recordings surface of Adolf Eichmann talking with a Dutch Nazi journalist in 1957 Argentina. Before facing justice, the candid admissions expose Eichmann’s visceral antisemitism and zeal for mass murder, contradicting his later claims that he was merely a functionary following orders. Investigative filmmaker Yariv Mozer, who tracked down the original recordings, posits why the evidence was concealed during trial. Staged reenactments of Eichmann’s own chilling words, as well as colorized courtroom footage, offer a dramatic rebuttal to notions of the banality of evil.

Description:
Can love be a form of resistance? Did it help people survive during the Holocaust? This special Valentine's Day webinar, led by Sheryl Ochayon, Echoes & Reflections Director at Yad Vashem, will shine a light on the human story behind the statistics of the Holocaust. Love often allowed the victims to attempt to retain their humanity in the face of dehumanization and hopeless circumstances, and often led to some very brave decisions. We will tell love stories and find lessons in them about resilience and the human spirit. This webinar connects to the Jewish Resistance unit on the Echoes & Reflections website.
