Excerpt from the documentary "Sabotage" (here 11)

Batik Nick at 18:00, Memory in the Living Room for Children

A production of the Nickelodeon Channel in collaboration with the "Memory in the Living Room" association.

In each episode, a group of about ten children meet a Holocaust survivor and hear the story of his life.

Throughout the episodes and the story of the survivors is also heard the voice of the children, who share their thoughts and feelings arising from the exposure to testimony.

Holocaust Remembrance Day Special presented by Juliana Margolis ("The Good Wife"), which examines Holocaust events from a contemporary angle.

In personal conversations with Holocaust survivors, important questions are asked: Have we learned the lesson from the difficult events?

Will we be able to ensure that history does not repeat itself?

A documentary that tells the heroic story of the women's underground in Auschwitz - Birkenau.

In September 1943, Anna Weisblum (14) and her sister Estosia Weisblum (18) from Midank were sent to the Auschwitz-Birkenau death camp.

They were hired for forced labor in the ammunition factory, reluctantly helping the Third Reich win the war.

The thought made them permeate, but resistance meant death.

One day, a message was sent to Estosia from one of the members of the Jewish underground in Auschwitz, asking her to smuggle gunpowder for a revolt in the camp.

Estosia hesitated and Anna convinced her: "If we are doomed to die, at least our death will have meaning!".

Estosia was convinced and concocted a meticulous smuggling plan.

Through interview clips, quotes from Anna's diary and animation, the film brings the dramatic and unfamiliar story of the women's underground in Auschwitz-Birkenau.

A story of female solidarity, love of sisters, youth in the shadow of hell, heroism and extraordinary resourcefulness.

The story is led by Anna Weisblum Heilman, the youngest member of the underground, through a fascinating video testimony she gave in the 1990s and a diary she wrote during the camp, plus additional testimonies from underground members.

On Network 13 at 9:25 p.m., this love was not the

first on a major channel, the big winner of the Dokaviv 2020 festival. A tragic love story between a prisoner and a prisoner in Auschwitz.

The young Helena, stormy and full of life, is taken to the Auschwitz death camp.

There he is deployed under his patronage by Franz Wench, a senior SS officer who falls in love with her and her mesmerizing singing voice.

The forbidden and dangerous relationship between them continues until the camp is liberated.

Thirty years later Helena receives a letter from Wenches' wife, begging her to come and testify in his favor in the trial against him in Vienna.

She now faces an impossible dilemma: Should she help a brutal SS officer who took the lives of Jews but saved hers along with some of the people closest to her?

in the early 1980s, journalist Alex Sombati conducted a series of interviews with German and Austrian citizens who participated in the Nazi extermination apparatus.

They tell of the horrors they saw as they continued to lead a normal life routine.

Some were silent, some testified that they tried to help in whatever way they could but were afraid to resist, others took part in events as part of their work or the demands of the Nazi regime they claimed, a few revolted.

Why were they silent?

Why did they not try to stop the atrocities?

Among the testimonies collected by Sombati is Ludwig Wolf, who in the 1930s ran a mattress factory in Berlin, and at the beginning of the war was required to move to run a similar factory in the Warsaw ghetto.

He recounted one of the events that was etched in his memory: "An elderly Jewish man stood with a robe, and he clearly noticed from my clothes that I was German. He said in half German, half Yiddish: 'My God, what are you doing to us?'

Further evidence is that of Kurt Franz, a commander in the Treblinka extermination camp, who was sentenced by the Düsseldorf District Court as an accomplice in the murder of 300,000 people, and in 35 incidents in which 139 people were killed.

He was sentenced to life imprisonment but was released, and never admitted to the German authorities that he was a commander in the Treblinka death camp and the Belzec camp.

With chilling composure he recounts how people arrived in carriages and were required to undress and shave their head hair.

In one case he tells of a mother and daughter who begged for their lives: "The daughter begged for her mother's life and the mother begged for her daughter's life (...).

The testimonies collected by Sombati were broadcast in 1981 on German television and are now, for the first time, being revealed in English and French on the channel.

A documentary about the story of the "Sonderkommando" in Auschwitz-Birkenau.

In September 1993, an Israeli historian and expert on Holocaust research, Prof. Gideon Greif, arrived in Auschwitz-Birkenau with six of the last Israeli survivors of the "Sonderkommando" in Auschwitz.

These six prisoners, who lived in the dark most of their lives and never told their personal story, return to Auschwitz almost 50 years after their release, and accurately and authentically recreate, from the remains of the camp, their "work" in Auschwitz.

All interviews with the six survivors were conducted in Hebrew and are presented for the first time.

None of the Sonderkommando men are alive today.

The "Sonderkommando" was the name of a company of Jews who were forced by the Germans to serve as slaves in the mass killing facilities in the extermination camps. The full testimonies of the six survivors were published in Prof. Greif's book "We Cried Without Tears," which was a turning point in the study of Auschwitz

Five Holocaust survivor artists choose the work as a space for healing their souls.

A connecting thread runs between the horrors they went through and the object of their creation, and the vital optimism is reflected in their personality.

This is the story of five survivors.

Eighty-year-olds who all have in common the choice of art as a way to survive the infernal memories of their childhood in the Holocaust.

The sculptor Saadia Bahat, who lost his entire family in the camps.

Multidisciplinary artist Tommy Brier, who was born in the ghetto and survived thanks to the resourcefulness of his mother.

The painter Ruthi Goren, who spent her childhood in an orphanage during the war.

Jenny Rosenstein, whose childhood was cruelly deprived of her and now paints naive childhood paintings, and Esther Goldman, whose embroidery craft allowed her and her mother to survive during the war.

The film reveals the power of art that can give expression to past events, but also heal, comfort and create a new life.

The story of Chaika Buchbinder (later Bar Chaim) and Sara Rechnitz, two companies who were born in Poland and immigrated to Israel before WWII.

A month before the outbreak of the war, they travel to visit their family in Poland, and a few days after their arrival, the war breaks out.

After they managed to return to Israel, they were taken for interrogation by members of the Jewish Agency.

Bite docu at 9pm, Justice has no expiration: following Fritz Bauer

How did the German legal system fail to prosecute still living Nazis?

Fritz Bauer, a jurist of Jewish descent, played a crucial role in locating the Nazi criminal Adolf Eichmann.

In 1963, when he served as Attorney General in the German state of Hesse, he sought to purge the German democratic legal system of the remnants of Nazi legislation, and according to the legacy he demanded, those who served as the small cogs in the Nazi murder machine should also be prosecuted.

The task was not easy, as for many decades the German justice system found it difficult to deal with countless Nazi criminals, some of them former SS guards, who were never punished.

The new film embarks on a journey following Fritz Bauer's legacy and brings moving testimonies of concentration camp survivors alongside interviews with German jurists.

The film not only reveals the historical circumstances for which it took so long for justice to be published in German courts, but also discusses the significance of bringing to justice those who take part in mass murder and commit injustices against humanity in the future.

Bite docu at 10:39 p.m., splurge on the way to Hollywood

Albert Shepard was the secret man of Hitler, an architect and Minister of Arms of Nazi Germany.

At the Nuremberg trials he claimed he did not know about the massacres, so he escaped the death penalty and received only 20 years in prison.

After his release, he wrote his memoirs in a book that was a great success - "Inside the Third Reich".

In 1971 he was sent a young screenwriter from Paramount Studios to adapt the book into a Hollywood movie.

40 hours of recorded conversations between the two, conversations that document the process of working on the script and are not intended for publication - are revealed here for the first time.

The film critically examines Shefar's chilling attempt to rewrite history and whitewash his actions through a feature film.

Using rare archival material that accompanies the recorded conversations, we dive into the depths of the soul of someone who was responsible for the deaths of millions of people in forced labor and is still perceived as a "good Nazi."

And what happened to the script?

This is a warning story about the ease with which media can be manipulated and cinema used to shape collective memory.

Among other things, the following films are re-emerging:

The Last Metro (Francois Truffaut's film starring Catherine Deneuve and Gerard Depardieu on life in Paris under German occupation. 1980)

This is surely the place (Paulo Sorrentino's film starring Sean Penn as a musician Going to avenge an old Nazi criminal. 2011)

In the Dark (the true story of Jews who escaped the liquidation of the Lvov ghetto with the help of a local criminal. 2011)

Ida (the Oscar-winning drama in the foreign film category about a young Polish woman discovering her Jewish roots. 2013

) The daughter of a senior Nazi and a young Jew in the first days after the end of the war. 2012)

Hot 8 at 6 p.m., The Secrets of Hitler and Stalin

A two-part series depicting the ties and cooperation between Hitler and Stalin, ostensibly the most sworn enemies.

The first part describes the years 1933, Hitler's rise to power, until 1941, Operation Barbarossa, in which the German army unexpectedly invaded the Soviet Union despite the mutual non-aggression pact signed by Hitler and Stalin.

The second part focuses on the years 1941-1945.

After Hitler's great betrayal, from Stalin's point of view, in Operation Barbarossa, the battle between the Red Army and the Wehrmacht continues.

A campaign in which millions were killed and ended in the Soviet victory and the final defeat of the Nazis in May 1945. In the twilight of his reign, Hitler admitted that Stalin, whom he saw as a contemptible peasant, was indeed an extraordinary leader.

Stalin emerged from the war as the victor and the great anti-fascist warrior, and only after his death did criticism of his iron rule begin.

In honor of her 70th birthday, Jordan embarks on a journey with her cousin Tamar, following the heroic women, their mothers, Ivette and Fanny Luanja.

During the journey, the story of other Jewish women is revealed, all of whom worked for one goal, rescuing hundreds of Jewish children during the Holocaust.

The story of the Luanza family, the home of Jordan's mother, is rare and unique - four members of one family who worked under the noses of the Nazis and saved hundreds of Jewish children from death, to the point of exhaustion.

The fact that three of them are women makes the story more amazing.

This is a story about female power under impossible conditions.

He immediately invites Manuel, his childhood friend who comes from a German background, to translate the documents.

Manuel - whose aunt is Stanley Kubrick's widow - reveals that he too has revealed a dark family secret: his father's uncle is the infamous Nazi director White Harlan, who directed the film "The Jew Ziss" - which was banned from screening and considered the most horrific antisemitic work in history.

Together they embark on a journey to Berlin, which puts their friendship to the test.
