A few weeks before the opening of the Eichmann trial, transcripts of recorded conversations that Adolf Eichmann had had with a Dutch Nazi journalist, Willem Sassen, were mysteriously handed over to prosecutor Gideon Hausner. The conversations were held a few years before Eichmann was brought to Israel by the Mossad. During the trial, Eichmann tried to convince the judges that he was only a bureaucrat who carried out orders, but in the transcripts Eichmann was found boasting and proud of his significant role in planning and executing the Final Solution. For the first time, we will confront Eichmann with himself in full color, revealing the hidden factors and motives that succeeded in hiding these recordings.

The Jewish state, strung between the Mediterranean, Dead and Red Seas, has developed into a technological, economic and military power in 75 years. How did this Middle Eastern democracy survive in the world’s most challenging geopolitical neighborhood? Peace without peace? The documentary film Med, mleko i nemir by author Nejc Krevs sheds light on important historical, social and political milestones in the development of the modern Israeli state, from Zionist ideas, the Holocaust, the Jewish-Arab wars to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, peace negotiations and diplomatic relations between Slovenia and Israel. Krevs’ documentary debut offers an insight into the phenomenon of Israeli social and cultural contradictions formed by newcomers from more than 150 countries. The condensed ethnic space of the 9-million-strong Israel strengthens the spirit of liberal and secular thought on the one hand, and the breakthrough of religious zeal and noble conservatism on the other.
