The Palestinian village of Wadi Fukin is located in the West Bank west of Bethlehem along the green line, and is surrounded on three sides by the Israeli colony of Beitar and the Israeli town of Tzur Hadasa. In 1948 the Israeli army destroyed the village and forced residents to move. In 1972, residents were allowed to return to the village and build their home within a month. Legend has it that the village was rebuilt in one night. Today the inhabitants depend almost entirely on agriculture for their livelihood and struggle daily to access their lands. But the danger is looming and the village could disappear again at any time.

The documentation forms part of a wider series of oral history projects undertaken by the Zochrot organisation in Israel.

Deir Yassin Remembered

Deir Yassin Remembered 2006

Early in the morning of April 9, 1948, commandos of the Irgun (headed by Menachem Begin) and the Stern Gang attacked Deir Yassin, a village with about 750 Palestinian residents. The village lay outside of the area to be assigned by the United Nations to the "Jewish State"; it had a peaceful reputation, but it was located on high ground in the corridor between Tel Aviv and Jerusalem. Deir Yassin was slated for occupation under Plan Dalet and the mainstream Jewish "defense" force. The Haganah authorized the irregular terrorist forces of the Irgun and the Stern Gang to perform the takeover. In all over 100 men, women, and children were systematically murdered. Fifty-three orphaned children were dumped along the wall of the Old City, where they were found by Miss Hind Husseini and brought behind the American Colony Hotel to her home, which was to become the Dar El-Tifl El-Arabi orphanage.
