Just beyond the wall lies the neighborhood of al-Ram, now severed from East Jerusalem. Inside front and inside back cover image: ‚ ‚ 31°49 10”N / 35°15 59”E Palestinian side of the Separation Wall on the outskirts of the Palestinian town of ʿAnata. The Israeli settlement of Pisgat Ze’ev lies beyond in East Jerusalem. This publication takes its point of departure from Fazal Sheikh’s Memory Trace, the first of his three-volume photographic proj- ect on the Israeli–Palestinian conflict. Published in the spring of 2015, The Erasure Trilogy is divided into three separate vol- umes—Memory Trace, Desert Bloom, and Independence/Nakba. The project seeks to explore the legacies of the Arab–Israeli War of 1948, which resulted in the dispossession and displacement of three quarters of the Palestinian population, in the establishment of the State of Israel, and in the reconfiguration of territorial borders across the region. Elements of these volumes have been exhibited at the Slought Foundation in Philadelphia, Storefront for Art and Architecture, the Brooklyn Museum of Art, and the Pace/MacGill Gallery in New York, and will now be presented at the Al-Ma’mal Foundation for Contemporary Art in East Jerusalem, and the Khalil Sakakini Cultural Center in Ramallah. In addition, historical documents and materials related to the history of Al-’Araqīb, a Bedouin village that has been destroyed and rebuilt more than one hundred times in the ongoing “battle over the Negev,” first presented at the Slought Foundation, will be shown at Al-Ma’mal.

  • The Diplomat and the Pioneer in Jewish- Catholic Relations Prior to Nostra Aetate: Jo Willebrands and Toon Ramselaar
    Journal of Ecumenical Studies, 49:3, Summer 2014 THE DIPLOMAT AND THE PIONEER IN JEWISH- CATHOLIC RELATIONS PRIOR TO NOSTRA AETATE: JO WILLEBRANDS AND TOON RAMSELAAR Marcel J. H. M. Poorthuis PRECIS A combined search of documents in the secret archives of the Vatican and of hith­ erto unexplored Dutch archives sheds new light on the genesis of Nostra aetate, the dec­ laration of Vatican II, mainly on Judaism. Two Dutch Catholics exercised a decisive influence upon the making of this declaration: monsignors Johannes Willebrands and Anton Ramselaar. In 1958 and 1960 Ramselaar organized a meeting with international pioneers in Jewish-Christian relations at the Dutch city of Apeldoorn. Research into Dutch and Vatican archives proves the decisive influence of these meetings upon Nostra aetate. In addition, original documents demonstrate that, for the pioneers, the State of Israel was not just a political affair but also the recognition of the Jewish right to sur­ vive as a people. Later attempts to marginalize this aspect of the Apeldoorn memoran­ dum coincided with the exclusion of the issues of the State of Israel and World War II as too political. Without Willebrands’s ingenious strategic powers that took over Ram- selaar’s network of pioneers, while sticking to traditional theological insights, the decla­ ration would probably never have been promulgated. However, without Ramselaar’s courage, Nostra aetate would not even have been considered a necessity. Introduction At the end of 2014, it will be fifty' years since the declaration Nostra aetate on the non-Christian religions was released at the Second Vatican Council.
