"Izkor" means "remember" in Hebrew and this film looks in depth at this imperative that is imposed on the children of Israel. In Israel during the month of April feast days and celebrations take place one after another. Schoolchildren of all ages prepare to pay tribute to their country's past. The collective memory becomes a terribly efficient tool for the training of young minds.By going to rediscover the myths and symbols that have contributed to the making of his own identity, as well as that of every Israeli, Eyal Sivan brings into play his own personal experience. Through a meticulous observation of the educational system, from kindergarten to the army, we discover how history is transformed into memory, how it sets an atmosphere and influences Israelis' behavior and lifestyles. Izkor is a documentary, a visual representation of this psychological phenomenon taken across the entire country.
