Sometimes the places that hold our deepest history also hold our deepest ache. In the final part of this storytelling series, UNRWA USA VP of Philanthropy shares how the Nakba is experienced as a living memory rather than just history. Visiting family in Gaza shortly before October 7, 2023, the family saw UNRWA’s impact firsthand, with the daughters recognizing the UNRWA logo all over the blue school buildings in Gaza from their fathers UNRWA USA business card. Memories like these are tender as the decades-long blockade on Gaza makes family reunification nearly impossible. Spaces that hold generational stories, places that are now rubble but exist vividly in memory, streets have changed because of constant bombardment—the Nakba is not only history, it is a lived memory painfully repeating itself. Bear witness to how hope and memory stay alive across generations of loss.
