Saffuriya village, 1931<\/p><\/div>\n

We were taken to an Palestinian village called Saffuriya, demolished in 1948. It is now a\u00a0wooded hillside (see photos). It was a large village before being completely wiped out,\u00a0the size of a large town.<\/p>\n

Saffuriya, Spring 2015<\/p><\/div>\n

It is almost unimaginable nature has managed to erase away\u00a0all trace of the community, after it was destroyed by the\u00a0Israeli army.<\/p>\n
