In The Round Number, Israeli documentary filmmaker David Fisher asks deeply unsettling questions about 6 million, the number of Jews killed during the Holocaust, which became an iconic numerical figure. As a second-generation Holocaust survivor, Fisher’s first-person historical investigation takes him on a 12-year journey, far beyond statistics, to explore why and how this number was written into the canon, and what its meaning can teach us about the Holocaust.
Join him in conversation with AJU’s Prof. Michael Berenbaum to discuss the making of the film and watch selected clips.
