Guest: Stefano Landini, Director. Together with... KAPOU.S.A. PREMIERE In 1961, Eichman went on trial in Jerusalem. But while the eyes of the world were on him, other defendants--Jewish Holocaust survivors accused of collaboration with the Nazis--were also brought to trial. Kapo (derived from Italian, meaning "head" or "leader") is the first documentary to deal with the story of those Jews who helped keep the concentration camp machine well-oiled and were drawn into sharing the burden of guilt with the Nazis. In many painful personal testimonies, these survivors defend their actions, convinced that they became "kapos" not just to save their own lives, but others as well. Guest: Dan Setton, Director |
