“It is important to recount these testimonies in my thesis. They form a significant part of the oral history archive. Relevant history has been obscured and not much was written about what took place in 1948. Much of what we know was transmitted through oral narratives. We came to know about many events of the Nakba through the vehicle of family stories and the telling of firsthand accounts and oral histories passed along through material artifacts. These powerful narratives perpetuate the memory and counteract the twisted hegemonic version of the events which depicts what happened as “justified”.”
