László Nádasy’s Éva A-5116 (1965) was chosen as the main focus of my research to draw attention to the first full-length documentary in Hungary dealing with the memory of the Holocaust. Éva A-5116 both in terms of themes, and in terms of using various, modern cinematic tools, is a unique representation of the Holocaust. Though the documentary is thought-provoking and gripping by today’s standards too, the film remains unknown in the public’s eye. The main aim of my thesis is to examine the attempts of 1960s Hungarian filmmaking to represent the repressed trauma as well as guilt related to different kinds of individual involvement in the Holocaust, to force the audience, and, thereby the whole society, to finally face the horrors of the Holocaust as well as their own conscience through Éva A-5116.
