Kadish (2009)
Directed by Bernardo Kononovich
Documentary · 1h 23m
During the military dictatorship in Argentina, thousands of people were disappeared, including nearly two thousand citizens of Jewish origin. This video documents these events and also creates a line of reflection on the Shoah (Holocaust) and those Jews who were also disappeared... by Nazism. The Mourner's Kaddish is a traditional Jewish prayer that can only be recited when the remains have been laid to rest. This documentary highlights the difficulty of mourning when the bodies of the victims have been destroyed and their remains have disappeared. It investigates how individuals and groups can explore alternative paths to grieving and establish a practice that sustains memory and encourages the community and its institutions to engage in sincere and pluralistic self-examination.
