Eighteen year-old Mariam Fathalla was one of them. Now 86 years old, Mariam has spent the last 68 years in crowded, makeshift refugee camps in Lebanon. She has raised three generations, all waiting to return to Palestine. Israel does not allow them to visit their homes, much less live there. She and a younger Palestinian refugee will share their experiences of exile and hopes for return.<span style='color:black'> </span><a name="_GoBack"></a><span style='color:#0D0D0D'><br><br></span></span><span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt'><o:p> </o:p></span></p></div></body></html>
