Independence | Nakba
 

Introduction

Every spring, the Arab–Israeli War of 1948 is commemorated as the Nakba (“Catastrophe”) by Palestinians, and by Israelis as the War of Independence. The year 2013 marked the sixty-fifth anniversary of the war. These portraits represent Palestinians and Israelis, born during that period, one for each year, tracing the generations back to that pivotal year of 1948.
