مِنْ ذاكِرَةِ جَدِّي نَصٌّ قَصَصِيٌّ، يَعْرِضُ جانِباً مِنْ حَياةِ الشَّعْبِ الفِلَسْطِينِيِّ، وَيُوَثِّقُ لِذاكِرَةِ وَطَنٍ لا يَنْتَهِي الحَنِيْنُ إِلَيْهِ.

From my grandfather’s memory comes a narrative that reflects a side of Palestinian life and chronicles the memory of a homeland for which the longing never fades.

وَيَظَلُّ أَمَلُ العَوْدَةِ حُلُماً يَعِيشُهُ الأَجْدادُ فِي ذاكِرَتِهِمْ، وَأَمانَةً يَنْقُلُونَها إِلى أَحْفادِهِمْ حَتَّى لا يَنْسَوْا.

The hope of return remains a dream held in the memories of the ancestors, a trust passed down to their grandchildren so they will not forget.

وَهذِهِ القِصَّةُ تُوَثِّقُ لِأَحْداثٍ عايَشَها جَدٌّ فِلَسْطِينِيٌّ، يُحَدِّثُ أَبْناءَهُ وَأَحْفادَهُ بِاسْتِمْرارٍ عَنْ حَياةِ البَساطَةِ وَالاسْتِقْرارِ وَالسَّعادَةِ فِي قَرْيَةِ (أُمِّ خالِدٍ) قَبْلَ النَّكْبَةِ.

This story records the experiences of a Palestinian grandfather who constantly tells his children and grandchildren about the simple, stable, and happy life in the village of Umm Khalid before the Nakba.
