Mr. Fahimi Zeidan ( 1936 ), 12,
" The Jews ordered all our family to line up against the wall and they started shooting us. I was hit in the side, but most of us children were saved because we hid behind our parents. The bullets hit my sister Kadri [four] in the head, my sister Sameh [eight] in the cheek, my brother Mohammed [seven] in the chest. But all the others with us against the wall were killed: my father, my mother, my grandfather and grandmother, my uncles and aunts and some of their children. "
Ms. Haleem Eid (1918), 30,

of the men were so anxious to get our earrings they ripped our ears to
pull them off faster. "
