here's a chapter from meyer levin's in search, rather startling.
it's about war, rape, and looting.
one note: erik is a reporter who travels with levin in a jeep along the frontline and then, right after the war, across germany. erik is jewish too. he had served in the french army, and his mother had been taken to a concentration camp (he later finds her).




















he drops the story rather abruptly there.
he makes other observations along the same lines (the logic of warfare etc) in the chapter about clashes between jewish settlers and british soldiers in palestine.
i wanted to see his 'my father's house', which is 'the first movie shot in palestine', and then the other one, a documentary about jewish illegal immigration to palestine, but didn't find them at http://thepiratebay.org/.

What a timing!
Я как раз собираюсь на этот фильм (его показывают на фестивале).
Но это, вроде бы, не 'the first movie shot in palestine', а наоборот? the last one before the declaration of the State of Israel.

обалдеть! завидую.
может быть, не 'first movie shot in palestine', a 'first feature film shot in palestine'? я точно не помню - лень сейчас искать - но какой-то first точно.
