Killing the Count: Mediation and assassination | Featured Documentary
Episode 2: https://youtu.be/q43Im7scjpk
Al Jazeera’s two-part documentary Killing the Count examines the eventful life of Count Folke Bernadotte, head of the Swedish Red Cross and a leading figure in the rescue of thousands of concentration camp prisoners in World War II.
Count Folke was appointed as UN Mediator in the first Arab-Israeli war, shortly before he was assassinated by Zionist extremists in 1948.
In part two, we look at the appointment of the Count, three years later, as the United Nation’s first mediator in the Arab-Israeli conflict, and his assassination four months later in September 1948 by Zionist extremists during an official visit to Jerusalem.
Al Jazeera’s documentary offers unique insight into his life and death, including accessing family and film archives never seen before.
