Sparked by a box of century-old letters found in a Memphis attic\, Schwartz uncovers the story of a young American Jew killed in the 1929 Hebron massacre—a little-known but pivotal moment that she argues became ground zero for a conflict still raging today. Drawing from deeply personal archival material\, wide-ranging interviews\, and decades of cont ext\, Schwartz weaves a gripping and even-handed narrative that connects t he past to the present\, shedding new light on the events of October 7\, 2 023\, and the enduring struggle for peace in the land both Israelis and Pa lestinians call home.

One of its first major initiatives was the creation of a groun dbreaking photographic archive\, conceived not merely as a record of event s but as a tool for shaping collective memory and mobilizing support. Thes e striking images played a central role in fundraising campaigns\, public outreach\, and the construction of a new national narrative in pre-state P alestine. From portraits of pioneers to depictions of settlement and trans formation\, the archive helped define how the Zionist enterprise was seen both at home and abroad. Join us to explore the archive’s formative year s\, the visual strategies it employed\, and the enduring impact of its ima gery on the making of a nation.
