The coming year, 2022, marks Zochrot’s 20th anniversary. Zochrot has been working for two decades to promote the responsibility of the Jewish public in Israel for the Palestinian Nakba and the return of Palestinian refugees. Our work continues in defiance of all efforts to silence and conceal historical facts, against deliberate ignorance and trampling on hope.
Ours is a work that moves from the past and connects it to the present and future. Through painstakingly researching, collecting testimonies, creating education and developing resources to understand our painful histories, we have been working collectively with a multitude of partners to fundamentally change Israeli society. The facts of Nakba are better known now thanks to two decades of this work. Our focus in recent years is on highlighting the ongoing nature of the Nakba, it effects on every day's Palestinian and Israeli lives and the necessity of acknowledging the ethnic cleansing of 1948 in order to understand current Israeli policy, correctly analyse the current situation and make a different future possible. These connections have been made clearer than ever in 2021.
Over the past year we have organized over fifty educational and political events and activities for over 4,000 participants. Those included: tours to Palestinian communities destroyed in the Nakba, workshops for organizations and groups, lectures and panels, campaigns, advocacy, research and testimony collection activities.
Further, this past year, despite attempts to silence our voices, sabotage our work and threaten us with violence, we worked diligently to bring the historical memory of the Nakba and the imperative of return to the Israeli public consciousness. At the same time, we formed a community of brave Israelis who dare to open their hearts and minds, listen, face their fears, reveal the truth and take responsibility for the past by changing the future for the better.
