An Oral History Project Conducted by John Robert Lewis Fellow Rawan Abhari
Project Description
This oral history tells the story of my grandfather Mustafa Abulibdeh. I decided to interview my grandfather about his direct experience from what has been called the Nakba of 1948 in Palestine. My grandfather always speaks for Palestine and issues that relate to it in his journalism career but I wanted his personal answers to what he experienced, even though he was young at the time. He currently lives in Amman, Jordan working as a journalist.
My grandmother recently passed away so he is still adjusting to life without her. I sent him the written questions so he could more conveniently answer them and provide context - however he did call me after sending the written responses to give more context (this was not recorded).
