99: Wartime Diaries - The Eulogy for Roi Rotberg

In 1956, Moshe Dayan – then the IDF’s Chief of Staff – delivered a eulogy for a fallen member of Kibbutz Nahal Oz. That eulogy had a tremendous impact on Israeli society and is just as poignant today as it was sixty-seven years ago.

The end song is Shir Eres Negbi (“A Southern Lullaby”) performed by Shoshana Damari.
