Encounter with a Lost Land Jan 1, 2013

An encounter with a lost land - Palestine from 1928 up to 1952 and beyond. Personal correspondences, diplomatic archives, consular correspondences, audiovisual archives, newspapers and interviews with the children of Western diplomats who lived in Jaffa, Palestine at the time. The first-hand testimonies of life before, during, and after the 1948 Nakba powerfully recreate everyday life in the urban center of Jaffa at a fateful time in Palestinian history.
