Zahdiya Mohammad Ayyash Zaidan lived in her village for only a few months before her family was forcibly displaced. Yet she inherited its story from her parents until its memory became a part of her life, dedicating years to documenting and writing it so it would never be forgotten.

A powerful scene featuring Hiam Abbass from Pomegranates and Myrrh (2008), written and directed by Najwa Najjar. The film explores the everyday struggles & realities of Palestinians living under occupation, focusing on the stories of humans rather than portraying them as numbers.

Looking for descendants or anyone with information on a specific depopulated village/area
Hello,
I am writing a fictional book set before and after the Nakba in the village of Ayn Ghazal. I'd like to ask if there are any people here whose family is from Ayn Ghazal or any of the neighbouring villages and if you have any stories, pictures or other information about life in the village before the Nakba, and what happened during and after 1948. I have already read the general sources and would like to speak to someone who maybe has some details not mentioned there. Also, if there are any books or articles that group together testimonies from the Haifa region and what happened during the Nakba I'd love to know the titles of those too. I have read general books and some memoirs but they focus on other areas of Palestine.
Thank you.

An Invitation to Palestinian Women Who Love to Write
Hi everyone! I hope it’s okay to share this here.
I’m a spanish teacher and writer. I´m coordinating a small international literary project called Atlas of Everyday Brave Women Around the World, a collaborative anthology of short stories about ordinary women and the quiet forms of courage found in everyday life.
Women from different countries, cultures, and backgrounds are already taking part, and I would love to connect with a Palestinian woman who enjoys writing and might feel inspired to contribute a story rooted in a Palestinian context: whether drawn from family memory, history, community, or fiction. The project is collaborative, and each writer retains the rights to her story.
If this resonates with anyone here, I’d be very happy to share more details privately. Thank you for letting me introduce the project to your community🌿
