As the public broadcaster it is our duty to bring this important project to Israeli and international audiences as part of our commitment to preserving historical memory.”
TH Productions founder and project co-creator, Udi Zamberg, added: “The raw, uncensored nature of these recordings provides a unique historical document.
“For the first time, we are exposed to the perpetrators expressing themselves freely, without the self-censorship that characterised post-war testimonies.”
