This documentary explores the persecution of the Jews, their resistance and their deportation to concentration camps. Notably, the film uses an assemblage of archival footage of Nazi camps, along with witness testimonies from the trial of Adolf Eichmann, a Nazi officer convicted of war crimes and crimes against humanity by an Israeli civil court. The title is a reference to the testimony by one witness of having received 80 lashes from a German solider, and later, the blow of Israeli disbelief.
