From "Snooker Party" to "The Oshpizin": A new non-fiction book reveals what religious people look like in Israeli cinema. The book offers a fascinating and original look at the history of Israeli society through the lens of cinema. The book reveals how the representation of religious people on the big screen has changed – from ridiculous or threatening characters existing on the margins, to center stage in Israeli cinema.

The subtitle of the book is: 'On Lies and Betrayal.' The book reveals the forces that operated in real time and later in the Kastner trial and in the archives in the State of Israel, to conceal and falsify documents about the real rescue efforts in Hungary (1943-1944) led by Dr. Israel Kastner, head of the Rescue Committee.
