בשם העם היהודי - 50 שנה למשפט אייכמן

סרט תיעודי על משפט של אחד ממבצעי הרצח הגדולים בשואת יהודי אירופה אדולף אייכמן, שהובא לירושלים לאחר שנתפס בארגנטינה במבצע מרשים. משפט אייכמן נחשב לאירוע מכונן שיצר תודעה חדשה של השואה בארץ ובעולם. השועה שעד אז היתה בעיקר עניינם של הניצולים, הלכה והיתה לעניין כלל יהודי וחלק בלתי נפרד בעיצובה של הזהות היהודית. בעדויות נשמעו קולות האימה, הסבל והאכזריות, ובצידן קולה של הגבורה היהודית. גבורתם של הנאבקים על קיום החיים, גבורת האוחזים בנשק.
