Join the Palestine Museum for a conversation with the book author, Linda Dittmar.

A raw and courageous memoir of the 1948 war and its aftermath, and searing personal journey to uncover the suppressed traumas, facts, and myths that undergird the so-called Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

Tracing Homelands is an intimate, beautifully written account that uncovers inconvenient truths about an embattled Israeli-Palestinian history that is often buried in silence. Its eloquently personal voice charts a reluctant eyewitness’ journey to uncover the ruins of Palestinian villages destroyed in the 1948 war, while weaving flashbacks to the author’s Israeli youth and Zionist upbringing. A braided narrative told with empathy and unflinching honesty, it reflects on the Palestinian and Jewish lives entwined in this searing history.
