Director: Neta Shoshani | 63 minutes
The traumatic story of Deir Yassin, the Palestinian village located near Jerusalem that was invaded, conquered, and emptied by Jewish underground fighters in April 1948, is told through first-hand testimonies by Jewish fighters who participated and youths who were sent in to “mop up” the dead. In parallel, the film tells the story of Dror Nissan, a man who tries to discover the secrets of his origins by visiting the Israeli government psychiatric hospital built on the grounds of Deir Yassin in 1951.
From the YouTube description: “This film contains interviews with the perpetrators of the massacre that occurred in Deir Yassin, Palestine on April 9th of 1948, including the very well-known member of the Irgun Terrorist group—Ben-Zion Cohen—who boasts unrepentantly claiming that he was the commander of the massacre.”
