Synopsis

The dramatic story of “Bureau 06”, the team of police investigators which was formed for the intent purpose of investigating and preparing the grave charges brought up by the Jewish people against Adolf Eichmann, for the trial that took place in Jerusalem, 1961. This was the trial that presented the story of the Jewish Holocaust to the entire world in a way that it had not been told before. This film tells the unique personal and shared stories of this team of investigators, their hardships, their confessions and the emotional turmoil they experienced, together and alone.

Reviews

Jerusalem F.F. 2013

“Bureau 06 is an energetic, well-researched examination of the police unit assigned to interrogate Adolf Eichmann before his trial. This documentary takes us behind the scenes of this dramatic historical moment in dynamic and surprisingly moving fashion”

Sergio Carmona
“A moving and educational cinematic experience. The film captures the tragedy and horror while still finding room to inspire and move. It is profoundly moving, profoundly shocking and profoundly important”.
Sergio Carmona / Sun-Sentinel, USA)
Amy Kronish
This film is a superbly researched historical document which succeeds in integrating the emotions and personal hardships of those who worked in the bureau, and even touches on some of the terrible stories that they uncovered in their research.”
