Photo Essay | History by Amir, Dalya, Mohammad, Sereen and Zo, Israel and Palestine

Jerusalem is a city with millennia-old stories to tell. But it is not a dead city. It is alive with stories being made as we speak. As they say today is tomorrow’s yesterday. In this photographic essay we tried to tap into the layers of history that make up this city – whether they are millennia-old, centuries-old, decades-old or yesterday-old. The beauty of this city is the history that made it and continues to make it.
