"catastrophe" and marks the expulsion, dispossession and ethnic
cleansing of the Palestinian people. <br>
Bring the family, and join us for a special day of resistance music,
cultural and youth programs, Nakba tent/art, Dabka, local solidarity
groups and more! Meet survivors from 1948, and learn about the tragedy,

experiences.</b> <b><i>Special children's area with games.</i></b>
