Explore how the Nakba transformed Palestine
https://today.visualizingpalestine.org/
Palestine has been transformed dramatically over the seven decades since the Nakba (”catastrophe”) of 1947-49, when over 500 Palestinian towns and villages were depopulated and over 750,000 people displaced during the creation of the State of Israel.
This interactive map tells the story of many of the communities that were affected by the Nakba, including those that remained.
“Remembering the Nakba of 1948 is therefore an act of protest and resistance. … Literature extends the resistive act of remembering and creates a sense of community through the narration of memory.”
