About Us
The Nakba Memorial Foundation is a charity dedicated to preserving Palestinian arts, culture, and heritage. Our initial objective is to build the ‘Centre for Documentation on the Nakba’ in London to preserve the historical record of the 1948 Nakba in Palestine.
We are motivated in this objective by the need to raise public awareness about the 1948 ethnic cleansing of Palestine as well as the ongoing Nakba, and to provide a space for dialogue, informing activism, and academic research relating to Palestine.
An Archive
Initially, we will create a hub for a Nakba archive, which will consist primarily of documents directly detailing the 1948 Nakba from Israeli archives, many of which have since 2016 been reclassified by Israel.
A Cultural Hub
Cultural productions, such as films documenting the nature of the communities which existed prior to the Nakba (and were then destroyed) will be made.
A Research Unit
The centre will encourage academic research and discussion, promoting knowledge on what happened in 1948 and after. Support will be given to ongoing research.
