Deir Yassin, 2007



On April 10, 2007, we marked 59 years since the massacre at Deir Yassin. We marched in a memorial procession from Kanfey Nesharim St. in Jerusalem to the center of the village (today the Kfar Shaul psychiatric hospital), bearing signs with the names of the victims. Accompanying us was Mohammed Radwan who took part in the battle at Deir Yassin in 1948, his wife Zehayda Radwan, a refugee from Deir Yassin, and members of their family.

This was the fourth year that we came to the village to commemorate the massacre.
