On Our Way Home-3

Yousef Albaba (related to the big family Alzama'rah) from the town of Halhul near Hebron, southern West Bank, Occupied Palestine. In 1948 he lived in the Old City of Jerusalem near Bab Al-Khalil/Jaffa Gate when Israeli forces drove him and 750,000 other Palestinians out of their homes. This was the beginning of the Nakba (Catastrophe—simultaneous with the founding of the state of Israel).
