Piece Description
The 1948-1949 Nakba, or catastrophe, drove 750,000 Palestinians into exile from their homelands. Um Sammeh and her family are residents of the Dheisheh Refugee Camp, and, like all 12,000 residents of the camp, are still waiting to return to their original villages – which are now incorporated into the State of Israel.

Review of The Nakba and Palestinian RefugeesThe Nakba (the term Palestinians use to describe the 1948 Arab/Israeli war) is a crucial event which has had enormous influence on world events, as such, it's a story which deserves attention. Unfortunately I think this report fails to add to our understanding of this event.

Review of The Nakba and Palestinian RefugeesThe reality of the testimony was sobering. I only had a superficial knowledge of the event that drove Palestinians out of their homes. To hear about it firsthand really brought home some of the injustices that have been done. It was great that you got primary sources like your Grandmother to make your point. One major problem, however, was that I was not sure who was narrating, translating, or giving testimony. Has this whole story been translated including your narration? That got me lost in some parts of the story. You don’t want to do that to your listener. My suggestion is that (1) the narrator(s) stay with one language. (2) Take time in reading the script, because sometimes it sounded rushed. If that makes it too long for you, some clips can be shortened and deliver the same impact. You did a great job. This was a great story that everyone should hear! |
