Khaled and Hassan (Nilin resident) at the museum in Nilin

After an initial exhibit in the West Bank Palestinian village of Niilin in January, the official inauguration of the museum is next Tuesday, April 21 – Yom HaShoah (Holocaust Remembrance Day in Israel).
Come see for yourself how the Khaled’s work is inspiring debate and yes, starting controversy (I invited one Israeli journalist to this event, and he said “No, thanks,” saying it was undoubtedly a case of “holocaust abuse.”)
Read an article here about Niilin’s exhibit.

If you live in Israel, drive or take the bus to Modiin, getting out on Highway 443 just before entering Modiin. Then turn onto the road towards Modiin Ilit, and wait 30 meters down that road at the bus stop (and get there by 9:15 a.m.). We will drive the 10 minutes into the West Bank to Nilin. Israeli citizens, don’t worry – coming back to Israel afterwards there is a checkpoint, but IDs are never checked there. Cars are also leaving from Jerusalem.
