Noit Geva’s grandmother, who was only 16 years old at the time of the massacre, was so traumatized by the event that she never spoke of her experience, but recorded what she witnessed in a journal entry entitled “What I Saw in Hebron.” This gripping documentary allows a rare glimpse into a little-known moment in Israel’s history.
