Synopsis
Our film is about Jews from Germany and Eastern Europe who, as young men and women, emigrated to Palestine in the thirties, under the influence of the Zionist movement, and helped to found the State of Israel. These men and women pushed for a peace agreement with the Palestinians as early as the forties and fifties, at a time when such activity was still regarded as treason. The subjective memories of these nonconformists establish historical contexts of which very few people are aware, providing a fresh perspective. The life histories of the protagonists – and with them destinies of European Jews in this century – come across directly and vividly because of the forceful way in which the protagonists recount their memories and experiences.
