On Thursday, 29.11.2007, at the corner of Rothschild Blvd. and Balfour (!) Street in Tel Aviv, Zochrot commemorated the sixtieth anniversary of the UN decision to partition Palestine. Five life-size photographs were displayed, showing Palestinian refugees from the 1948 Nakba. The people in the photographs were born in the village of al Ras al-Ahmar, today the site of moshav Kerem ben Zimra, in the Upper Galilee. The photographs were taken as part of "Bridging Memory," a project developed by Zochrot together with partners in Lebanon and Europe. A poster showing the development of the project, including an exhibition of the photographs on the former site of the village, was also displayed. Passers-by were handed flyers explaining the event. On the rear of the flyers were printed excerpts from "talk-backs" received in response to other Zochrot activities. One of us climbed a tree to read the talk-backs aloud.'
