Dr. Salman Abu Sitta
Palestinian researcher most known for his ground-breaking project mapping historic Palestine and developing a practical plan for implementing the right of return of Palestinian refugees.
Salman Abu Sitta was just ten years old when the Nakba in 1948 happened, forcing him from his home. Abu Sitta has spent 40 years digging for any detail of information about or related to Palestine before, during and after al Nakba, the destruction of Palestine. Abu Sitta's work has encompassed not only documenting the Nakba in which over 800,000 Palestinians were largely driven from their homes and villages, but also ensuring that "the memories and identity of the occupied homeland are never lost".
