In 1949 Jerusalem, a young girl knows better than to ask about the
sudden darkness in nearby Lifta. She carries the memory of a place
once filled with the sounds of stone-cutting men and the sight of
women in long, brightly embroidered dresses carrying fruit baskets
on their heads. Sixty years later, she finally faces the answer to
her own unspoken question. In 2009, an 85-year-old Holocaust
survivor who worked at the Nuremburg trials--and still dreams about
the medical "experiment" photos she once filed into endless
boxes--now dreams of sailing into Gaza with help and hope for her
Palestinian "brothers and sisters." Reading like a memoir, this
anthology combines 14 women's stories into a collage of unbearable
loss, unspeakable horrors, incredible strength, and a belief in the
unwavering power of truth. Seeing the Israeli occupation through
each storyteller's eyes, our well-worn filters fall away, and we
begin to see as our own these women's journeys and join them in
their quest for justice and lasting peace.
