Details

This talk examines the dual destruction of heritage sites and living stories across the Palestinian landscape, where the shattering of physical monuments is inseparable from the silencing of the oral traditions they sustain. It explores a systematic process of memoricide—the attempt to rewrite the stratigraphy of the land by erasing the material evidence of historical continuity. By analyzing the targeting of tangible landmarks and the inalienable traditions rooted within them, we will discuss how these attacks function not only as a violation of international law but as a deliberate strike against the collective memory and enduring identity of a people.
