Israeli film director Asher TIalim, originally from Tangier, Morocco, poses a question to all of us, even those apparently not directly affected: What do we - the generation after - have to do with the Holocaust? Focusing on the Akko Theater Center's award-winning performance, ARBEIT MACHT FREI, also featured in the German documentary, BALAGAN (see listing), he documents the actors as well as the audiences over a three-year period, scrutinizing their souls.
