"This oral history project is not just a research effort. It is rather more a dialogue between the generations. The oral histories have been collected by students at a very difficult time in their life; when they were trying to come to terms with the emergency situation that occurred during the Al Aqsa Intifada (October 2000 till present-day). In fact, some of the stories were told during moments of shelling and electricity cut-offs. (What can one do at such moments other than tell stories?) The special setting adds to a conversation that is at times highly charged, intimate and personal.
