In the Active Aging House of Burj Barajneh, a Palestinian refugee camp
in Beirut, the Nakba is still a vivid memory. Some of the center-goers
were in their childhood when, in 1948, the ‘catastrophe’ had befell the
Palestinians and more than 750,000 were ousted from their homelands.
Around 110,000 took refuge in Lebanon that. Marian, 68 years old, still
remembers those keys to her house. Her parents were holding them in
their hands while telling her about al Safsaf, the village in Galilee
they used to live in before the Nakba.
