The Community Church of Boston: A Peace and Justice Congregation Since 1920:
The focus of this presentation will be on the Palestinian ethnic cleansing of 1948, “The Nakba.” It will be from the point of view of one Israeli’s journey to locate the ruins located within Israel’s 1949 “Green Line” border that camouflage signs of Palestinian life. Linda’s eyewitness political coming-of-age account, invites you to reconsider some eight decades of this history and its implications for the future ahead.
Linda Dittmar’s early years were marked by the turmoil of war and nation building as Mandatory Palestine became Israel. Born in 1938, she grew up steeped in Zionism and served in the IDF. During those years she witnessed the intertwined effects of the Holocaust and the Nakba—the Nakba suppressed and kept out of view. In the U.S. since 1961, she received her Ph.D. from Stanford, taught literature and film studies at the UMass Boston, and lectured in Tel Aviv, India, and elsewhere. Her publications include From Hanoi to Hollywood; The Vietnam War in American Film and Multiple Voices in Feminist Film Criticism. Her work has been recognized by several residencies and awards, including two Fulbright awards and the Massachusetts Cultural Council award.
