Honoring the legacy of Dr. Refaat Alareer, my professor and big brother

As Refaat’s student, I am honored to carry forward what he always dreamed of. He wanted to translate the Syrian series that tells the story of Palestine between 1933 and 1976.

At the Islamic University of Gaza, he led a team of students who began this work. They didn’t translate full episodes, only a few short clips. That effort died with Dr. Refaat.

To continue the legacy of my professor and big brother, I’ve assembled a team of four displaced Gazans in Cairo to complete the work. We are translating the full series, all 31 episodes, totaling 22 hours. Below is a short clip from the series. Please share widely.
