Killing Kasztner

Killing Kasztner is a documentary that delves into the controversial story of Dr. Israel (Rezso) Kasztner, a Hungarian Jew who negotiated with Nazi leader Adolf Eichmann to rescue the last million Jews of Europe. However, his efforts were met with criticism and accusations of collaboration, leading to his assassination in Tel Aviv in 1957. The film follows Kasztner's daughter and her quest for redemption for her family name, while also exploring the perspectives of survivors of Kasztner's transport and a young lawyer who wants to prevent Kasztner's name from being recognized as a Holocaust hero. Through interviews with Ze'ev Eckstein, the man convicted of Kasztner's murder, and a visit to the scene of the crime, the film sheds light on a dark chapter in history and raises questions about the morality of negotiating with enemies.
