Yfaat Weiss tells the story of an Arab neighborhood in Haifa that later acquired iconic status in Israeli memory. Weiss investigates the erasure of Wadi Salib's Arab heritage and its emergence as an Israeli site of memory. Through her sensitive reading of events, she offers uncommon perspective on the personal and political making of Israeli belonging.
