On Sunday April 22 at 2:30 p.m., “Censored Voices” will be shown at Westminster Presbyterian Church, 400 I [“eye”] Street SW, in Washington, DC. One week after the 1967 Six Day War, a group of young Israeli soldiers, led by renowned Israeli author Amos Oz, recorded intimate conversations with their comrades returning from the battlefield. In these recordings, soldiers wrestled with the systemic evacuation of Palestinians, the dehumanizing nature of war, and the echoes of the Holocaust, taking an honest look at the moment Israel turned occupier. These recordings, censored by the Israeli army until now, are played back to the soldiers 50 years later, bringing past abruptly into present and revealing the soldiers’ stunning confessions for the first time. All showings in the Voices from the Holy Land film series are free, start promptly, and are followed by moderated discussion. Please visit www.voicesfromtheholyland.org
