Zochrot (Hebrew: ; "Remembering". Arabic: ; "Memories") is an Israeli non-profit organization founded in 2002. Based in Tel Aviv, its aim is to promote awareness of the Palestinian ''Nakba'' ("Catastrophe"), the 1948 Palestinian exodus.〔Bronstein, Eitan. "The ''Nakba'' in Hebrew: Israeli-Jewish Awareness of the Palestinian Catastrophe and Internal Refugees," in Masalha, Nur. (ed.) ''Catastrophe Remembered: Palestine, Israel and the Internal Refugees''. Zed Books, 2005.〕 The group's director is Eitan Bronstein. Its slogan is "To commemorate, witness, acknowledge, and repair."〔(Zochrot ), the website in English, accessed February 9, 2010.〕 Zochrot organizes tours of Israeli towns, which include taking displaced Palestinians back to the areas they fled or were expelled from in 1948 and afterwards.〔Rinat, Zafrir. (Out of sight maybe, but not out of mind ), ''Haaretz'', June 13, 2007.〕 The group erects street signs giving the Palestinian history of the street or area they are in. Zochrot sees this as causing "disorder in space," raising questions about naming and belonging. A key aim is to "Hebrewise the Nakba" by creating a space for it in the public discourse of Israeli Jews.〔 The word "Zochrot" uses the feminine plural form of the Hebrew verb "to remember," whereas it is customary in Hebrew to use the masculine form when referring to a group of people. The feminine form was chosen to signal Zochrot's approach toward the Nakba, which the group says challenges what it sees as the masculine historical narrative by focusing on compassion and inclusion.〔 == Publications == The Magazine of the group bears the name ''Sedek'' (engl. rupture/rift) and was published for the fourth time in spring 2010. This issue contains more than 40 poems by Israeli poets, which were published in the period between 1948 till 1958. The poems reflect theviews of the authors on the displacement of the Palestinians in the years around the foundation of Israel. In 2012, Zochrot and Pardes Publications published a guidebook "Omrim Yeshna Eretz" ("Once Upon a Land – a Tour Guide") in Arabic and Hebrew which is "designed to educate Jewish-Israelis about how their towns and cities were founded in an effort to reconcile them with the original inhabitants of the land."〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.economist.com/blogs/prospero/2013/04/israeli-guidebook )〕 It provides tours of 18 localities, mostly the sites of Palestinian villages depopulated in 1948.〔〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Zochrot」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
