“A Homeland Memory” is the title of the exhibition which was opened at the library hall of An-Najah National University by the University President Prof. Rami Hamdallah and Ali Tukan the Municipality Library Director.

 The goal of this exhibition is to show the heritage and culture, roots and memories of the Palestinian People over the past eighty years.

 Paintings and images were exhibited; some were painted by western artists, while the rest of the images were taken by Palestinians during their day-to-day life as well as during times of war and deportation.

 Pictures depicting cultural and social spheres of Palestinian life were also shown to the university audience and community associations’ members who visited the exhibition.    

Old newspapers from the 1930s published in Palestine, such as Al-Defa` (Defense) and Falasteen, were also shown during the exhibition. Such newspapers were issued in both Jafa and Haifa before the establishment of the state of Israel.

 The eyewitnesses from 1948 were particularly moved and enthused by the exhibition, which provided them with an opportunity to visualize their cities of birth, and to recollect with nostalgia their childhood in Jafa or in Haifa.
