About tours
About once every two months Zochrot hosts tours to the sites of destroyed Palestinian localities, which are free and open to the public. There are about a hundred participants at each tour, Arabs and Jews from different backgrounds — students, activists, artists, journalists, refugees, residents and others.
During tours we learn about the history of the place before and after the events of 1948 and listen to testimonies of refugees who experienced the Nakba. At each tour we post signs in Hebrew and Arabic to mark the name of the place and help us to remember its existence. The signs also contain basic information such as the number of residents who lived there until 1948. For each tour we also produce a commemorative booklet which is distributed free to participants.
For updates on upcoming tours, check the homepage or sign up for Zochrot’s newsletter.
Tours in Hebrew and Arabic can be arranged to a number of Palestinian places that were destroyed in the Nakba. For more information please contact Umar Ighbarieh at: tours@zochrot.org.
