Description:
The film depicts the persecution of Jews by the Nazis, incorporating rare archival footage of concentration camps. Its title originates from a statement made by a witness during Adolf Eichmann's trial. The witness recounted being whipped 80 times by the Nazis, but feeling a deeper wound when his story was doubted by Israelis after the war; this disbelief from his own people constituted the "81st blow." *The 81st Blow* is the first installment in the Israeli Holocaust Trilogy by Bergman, Ehrlich, and Gouri, followed by *The Last Sea* (1980) and *Flames in the Ashes* (1985).
