Back to Yohmor al-Chaqif: Place and Memory

From Dr Bassam Olleik's channel

Yohmor al-Chaqif: they departed, yet never left...

A recording remembering those who have passed away and the villagers' enduring ties to their memory.

Description from the channel

They departed, yet never left...

The ogre bulldozed the graves of our loved ones, thinking we would forget those closer to us than the jugular vein. Genghis Khan dug his fangs into the garden of the Husseinis, unaware that Hussein has been present since the day of Karbala and will remain for all eternity. How could we forget those who gave us life's meaning and the radiance of memories, who shared love, bread and days with us, in comfort and hardship? Our dead are the deep roots and we are the steadfast branches. You who pass through: by God, you will not erase our memory.
