David Perlov lays layer upon layer of memory in this film, a unique historic and cinematic document, composed of interviews conducted by Perlov in his Tel Aviv apartment seventeen years after the Eichmann trial. Those interviewed are Israeli Holocaust survivors and members of their generation, children of survivors and young “Sabras”. They reflect upon how the Eichmann trial transformed Israeli perceptions of the Holocaust and the survivors, and the way it affected them and their families.

“Memories of the Eichmann Trial” was shot on 16 mm reversal stock, a format used before the changeover to video broadcasting, and was broadcast only once on Channel 1. The restoration is an initiative of the Yad Vashem Visual Center and the Israel Broadcasting Authority-Channel 1, with the support of the Perlov family and the Forum for the Preservation of Audio-Visual Memory in Israel, in commemoration of fifty years since the Eichmann trial.
