The Palestinian writer, Ghassan Kanafani, assassinated in a car bombing in Beirut nearly 40 years ago, was despite his political beliefs, still able to portray, understand and recognise the suffering of a Jewish Holocaust survivor in his novella, Returning to Haifa.
When the Israeli playwright, Boaz Gaon, came across Kanafani's Returning to Haifa, the story inspired a project Return to Haifa..
Please read Peter Marks's article in The Washington Post describing the evolution and reception of Gaon's play.
