It has become fashionable to pick on Israel in this decade, so a film like The House on Garibaldi Street is maybe something a lot of people would not be very interested in anymore.

If like me you believe remembering the Holocaust is not just an “excuse” for Israeli foreign policy in this day and age the film will have a lot of meaning for you.

The film follows the capture (or kidnapping depending on how you lean politically) of Adolf Eichmann and his return to Israel to face trial for crimes against humanity. An all star cast headed by Martin Balsam and Topol bring a very credible account of this exciting real-life tale to the screen.
