Devil's Confession: The Lost Eichmann Tapes
Florida Premiere
Winner of five prizes at the Israeli Academy Awards, The Devil’s Confession: The Lost Eichmann Tapes unearths previously unheard bombshell recordings of Adolf Eichmann, one of the chief architects of the Holocaust’s Final Solution, which definitively shows his active involvement in the planning and implementation of one of the greatest atrocities in world history. Six decades after his trial and execution in Israel, these long-hidden recordings surface of Adolf Eichmann talking with a Dutch Nazi journalist in 1957 Argentina. Before facing justice, the candid admissions expose Eichmann’s visceral antisemitism and zeal for mass murder, contradicting his later claims that he was merely a functionary following orders. This groundbreaking discovery also sheds light on the hidden forces that concealed the recordings, altering the arc of history as we have understood it for more than 70 years, and provides irrefutable proof against Holocaust denial and the pernicious antisemitic hatred from which it springs.
The special premiere event will feature the attendance of Dr. Haim Shaked, Director of the Miller Center and the Feldenkreis Program, who will introduce the film and participate in a Q&A after the film.
