Summary:
A documentary examining a controversial period of Israeli history by drawing upon diaries kept by Yossef Nachmani, a land broker for the Jewish National Fund, who recorded his daily activities and private thoughts from 1937 to 1965. A moderate who believed Arabs and Jews could coexist, Nachmani ran up against forces that led to the 1947 United Nations Resolution which partitioned Palestine into Jews and Arab states. The film recounts his participation in acts of expelling Arabs and destroying their homes, and documents atrocities committed by the Haganah and IDF. His diaries showed his anguish at his actions and the actions of those around him.
