We often want to ignore the tragedies of our past. They move us to sadness or moruning and the usual human reaction is to brush such things under the carpet. However the Palestinian Catastrophe or Nakba, is something the people here remember each year with admirable conviction. It is the history which adds legitimacy to their existence and rights to their land. Its commemoration is vital in educating the next generation of Palestinains about their roots and culture.
At the Friendship house, we organised a day of events including singing, dabkeh and poetry recitials as well as a small art exhibition showing vivid images of those who were ethnically cleansed from their home soil. It was an unusual but inspiring event because from this tragedy, the Palestinians found hope and optimisim.
