Abstract

I am a Palestinian whose family lived for generations in the village of Al-Maghar. Sixty years ago, during the Nakbah (The Calamity), my grandparents and their entire family were expelled from Al-Maghar, banished and sent to the shacks and narrow streets of a refugee camp more than 100 kilometers away. Sixty years later they still feel the bitterness of that loss and see hopelessly how the flames of that tragedy continue to burn.
