He never gave up. And he does that for us

From the day I started to think politically and to develop my own moral values, from my earliest youth, I have been an ardent defender of Israel.

I've got a lot of examples about moments where I thought something would work on film and it didn't work, but I never came to that decision with the film half shot, where I was stuck on a runaway train and couldn't jump off. On those occasions where I have admitted defeat, that this is not going to work, I haven't embarked on that project and made that movie.

There's no other way to learn about it, except through documentaries. I encourage documentarians to continue telling stories about World War II.

Documentaries are the first line of education, and the second line of education is dramatization, such as The Pacific.
