TMA AU in which the s1 archival team are a bunch of kids in a mentoring program with the institute and gets Gertrude and her archival team as their mentors. It’s all fun and games until murder mystery shenanigans ensues 🤷 🔪
When it comes to testimonies of the generations that went through the Nakba, I have compiled a small but very rich list of resources to help keep their testimonies alive.
The website Palestine Remembered has a huge archive of over 600 videos of lengthy testimonies from Nakba survivors that are grouped according to their districts and towns.
The Nakba Archive is a big project conducted by AUB which includes interviews of first generation palestinian refugees in Lebanon.
Almashriq also has voice recordings of testimonies of Palestinian Nakba survivors who were internally displaced and the interviews are grouped according to the area where they were expelled to.
Israeli NGO Zochrot has a database of testimonies including video recordings of Nakba survivors that is regularly updated.
Lastly, written testimonies are equally important and photographer Anne Paq shared her series dedicated to pairing testimonies of Nakba survivors along with photographs of them and their grandchildren.
We all must be committed to keep these stories at the forefront of our discussions on Palestine, despite Israel's constant efforts to bury the truth (both literally and figuratively).
As protests start ramping up and violence escalates please remember:
DO NOT PUT MILK IN YOUR EYES FOR PEPPER SPRAY OR TEAR GAS.
It can and will cause infection due to bacteria. Flush with water, distilled if possible, and never EVER wear contact lenses to protests where there may be police retaliation.
