The Ruins of Lifta: Where the Holocaust and Nakba Meet
The mega-narratives underlying the Israeli-Palestinian conflict are pitted against each other in this personal film when the filmmaker brings together a Holocaust survivor and a Nakba refugee in the haunting ruins of Lifta, the only Arab village emptied in 1948 that has not been completely destroyed or repopulated by Jews.
