Supporting films: JEWISH FETISH (Amir Steklov, DE 2021, 1 min) & DIVING IN (Nitzan Mager, US 2022, 7 min)
In the 1960s, a pornographic booklet series conquered Israel's bookshops. Stalags paperbacks tell of prisoners of war who are sadistically tortured and abused by female SS guards. A film about a curious pop-cultural phenomenon that helped to break the silence – about sex and about the Shoah.
