This powerful documentary profiles Shalom Nagar, the Yemenite Jew who guarded, and eventually executed, Nazi war criminal Adolf Eichmann. In spite of Eichmann's role as a key organizer of the Holocaust, Nagar didn't wish to execute him. The film reflects on the assignment of the executioner role to Nagar as illuminating the position of Mizrahi Jews in the memory of the Holocaust in Israel. Nagar's reflections on this experience, and on the meaning of capital punishment even in the face of unforgivable acts, brings up pressing questions of crime and punishment in our time.
