The film is being called Bearing Witness, a phrase commonly used about the Holocaust.
He will be the public face of these screenings.
He was sent together with his family to Auschwitz.
He took all of us.
But I more hate the Polish, because they said nothing.
They saw me and my family, the atrocities, and they said nothing.
They were waving at us when we were loaded on these trucks.
And the world said nothing when those atrocities in Europe happened.
And people do not believe us.
Again, its the same scenario, now: it didnt happen.
There were a lot of lies out there.
I was so outraged.
This is a holocaust.
This is not just an incident.
And thats been my cinema with the short filmSkin, and the featureGolda.
I am making a cinema thats telling true stories about the world we live in.
Thats why this screening is not only for Jews.
This screening is for everyone from the industry.
And its from a filmmaker to a filmmaker, from a storyteller to a storyteller.
Nattiv said his grandfather had a family of 16 people, sisters, brothers, mothers.
And I have two sides of the family.
So I have the Romanian side, and hes the Polish side.
So they all perished.
And my grandparents were the only survivors.
That is my goal here.
To show what started everything.
Now, it doesnt mean that Im not pro-Palestinian.
I am pro-two state solution.
I have Palestinian friends.
I am a left wing filmmaker, but this is not a left or right wing thing.
This is just something that the whole world should see it.
So thats my mission.
Im not canceling out anything that happens to other people, he said.
Im hurting about every person that is losing his or her life in this war.
It is an eerie parallel to footage seen around the world only after Germany was defeated in WWII.
There was a series of raw footage after the Holocaust that was shown to the world, he said.
They put it together and they showed it to the world.
Thats exactly what were doing.
Its what the IDF has done.
It is the same footage that theyve shown to the government.
So everything is documented from real cameras.
Look, can I tell you one last thing?
Itll never happen again.
Were much smarter and we learn from it.
When they told us about the Holocaust, they said, they will never burn Jews again.
And the world does not believe us.
That is like going full circle to 1939-1945.
So its not just about a terror attack.
This is a holocaust.
I am just gutted over this.
We are in an existential battle for the truth.
We must look evil in the eye and have the moral clarity to stand united against terror.
