How it feels

This documentary looks at a wave of pornographic books from the 1960s in Israel that depicted female Nazi officers abusing male camp prisoners. It explores why these books became hugely popular during the trial of Adolf Eichmann and what their decline reveals about Israeli society.

What happens

Stalags (Hebrew: סטאלגים, Stalagim, also known in English as Stalags: Holocaust and Pornography in Israel) is a 2008 Israeli documentary film produced by Barak Heymann and directed by Ari Libsker. The film examines the history of Stalags, pornography books that featured female Nazi officers sexually abusing male camp prisoners. The pocket books broke sales records and sold hundreds of thousands of copies in Israel in the 1960s during the trial of Adolf Eichmann. After the authors of the books were accused of distributing antisemitic pornography, the popularity of the books declined. The documentary opened in limited release on April 9, 2008.
