Nablus, circa 1955

My cousin just added this vintage photograph of the family to Facebook. My father is the third one from the left on the bottom row, and my grandfather is the man holding the baby. Everyone else in the picture are my dad’s brothers and sisters.

This photograph was taken in Nablus, Palestine, and was probably taken around 1955.

    Maybe you can help immortalize Palestine by adding rare Palestine photos to http://www.palestineremembered.com

    They have photo collections for almost all the cities and villages of Palestine. Photos are added by people around the world.
