Towards a common archive

Lecture von Eyal Sivan

The presenation Towards a Common Archive ‒ Video Testimonies of Zionist Fighters in 1948 offers a glimpse into a much broader project for creating an archive cross-referencing testimonies by Palestinian refugees and soldiers and commanders involved in 1947-49 in expelling and uprooting 700,000 Palestinian refugees in order to establish a Jewish State. This common archive of Nakba victims and perpetrators enables us to complete the historic picture of 1948. Moreover, it reveals the human dynamics operating behind it, in a way no formal documents or even victim testimonies could ever do. The presentation enables users to view Palestinian and Zionist testimonies side by side.
Eyal Sivan will join the panel THE VOID with Reem Shilleh, Mohanad Yaqubi and moderator Anna-Esther Younes following the presention.
