<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>"Oral histories of Palestinians collected by Bethlehem's Arab Educational Institute. A book that truly "sees through walls," Thomas Suáarez has organized a remarkable collection of Palestinian oral histories, most of which hang on Israel's apartheid Wall.

Lost in the chaos of Israel's war against Palestine are the voices of the ordinary Palestinians who are its primary victims. This book puts a dent in that injustice by preserving oral testimonies collected and translated by the Sumud Story House project of Bethlehem's Arab Educational Institute and hung as posters on Israel's apartheid Wall. Despite their brevity-each oral history occupies a single page in this book-each conveys the fears, the hopes, the resolve, the humanity of people under brutal military occupation, and their unwavering determination to realize a better future for their children"--<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>"[We express our] grave concern about the continuing construction, contrary to international law, by Israel of the wall inside the Occupied Palestinian Territory, including in and around East Jerusalem ... in departure from the Armistice Line of 1949 ...
