You stated you had been right here on 5/10 and 36 hours later the world modified, how did you expertise that?
“(sighs) very personally and I believe like many, following I come right here I’ve numerous good mates and I typically do not take photos or go to lodges, however stick with households I am near.

Richard Dietz: The Full Interview
I keep in mind that on Saturday morning I in some way fell asleep throughout the sirens and wakened at half previous seven, I checked out my mobile phone and there have been numerous ‘Are you okay?’ messages. I went downstairs, I understood what was taking place and I bear in mind very a lot the confusion that day, particularly for me that I do not communicate Hebrew and may’t simply go into Telegram and see what was apparent to lots of people.

I watched TV, I communicate Russian so I noticed the Russian channel and I bear in mind ’10 killed’ then ’20 lifeless’, ’30 lifeless’, ’40 lifeless’ and the quantity stored going up, but it surely took some time to grasp the magnitude of the occasion. 10-20 folks is lots of people within the context of Israel and terrorist assaults, sadly it isn’t one thing that can’t be stated to be utterly sudden, so solely following 5 or 6 hours following the magnitude of the occasion turned clear to me, I understood it extra.
We had been at house and checked out one another, all of us stated how such a factor occurred, what occurred, following which we received a message. One of many sons on this household is a pilot within the Air Drive and a pilot from his squadron, who I do know very nicely, acquired phrase that his brother had been killed in a nova following which it actually hit me, actually hit me. The subsequent day we went to the household home within the south of Shiva. We had been sitting there at house, we noticed photos of the son and I did not know him, I knew his brother and the brother advised me the story and it was so heartbreaking.

To see the dignity of the household that suffered such a loss and the energy that they had in that second, for me was superb. After I returned and drove to Tel Aviv, I believed to myself, what I can do and what must be finished, and I had the thought of what is admittedly necessary. I went to Yale and studied historical past, for me historical past is essential and the accuracy of historical past is necessary. The factor that I actually knew and was very proper regarding at that second is that the historical past of that second can be utterly twisted and distorted in a short time by folks, and it was essential to doc what occurred.
I talked to some mates and in the long run they linked me to an individual you might know from the enterprise, Manny Aviram (CEO of Kastina, MB), who’s a producer and manages the manufacturing firm. I needed to make documentaries concerning the seventh of October and 4 or 5 days later, already There was an inventory of 5 documentaries he needed to movie and produce, so we collaborated.
Richard Dietz (Haggai Michaeli)
He did all of the work, I simply made certain he had the funding for it and we made a sequence of documentaries. You’ll have seen the documentary ‘Nova’, it is one thing I helped make. For me the 7/10, from that day every single day is the 7/10. After all we now have moved on and we’re alive, however this sense from that day nonetheless exists, the change on this planet and likewise what’s the sense of accountability in ensuring that this occasion is documented and defined.”
