Why are we doing this explorative journey?
Words from the initiators Dr. Solomon Gutjahr & Nagham Sleiman
Dr. Solomon Gutjahr
People from Israel have been asking me again and again how I could live in the country that killed my ancestors in Auschwitz? Some people ask me how my mother and grandmother survived? People from Israel ask me if I feel safe today and if I feel welcomed as a Jew in Germany? Some people in Germany wonder if me and my family are still angry or feel a need for restitution? To be honest, for more than 50 years I used to feel lots of pain, sadness, anger, shame, suppressed, unacknowledged, righteous and victimized. This made me lose self-esteem and power! I behaved passive-aggressively. I felt numbed by ancestral trauma! Today I feel liberated, rich, grateful, blessed, empowered and full of love! I flipped the coin - what happened?
Nagham Sleiman
My name is Nagham Sleiman. I was born and raised as a Palestinian in Nazareth. All of my life I have asked myself why did I choose to be born specifically in the holy land as a Palestinian. What does my soul need to learn and experience?
With the years, growing up, my identity was not clear. I had to go through a process to reconnect and learn about my peoples history, stories and heritage as our own history was denied to us Palestinians under the Israeli government. We are not free to determine our own identity, culture and life. Despite all of that, my sense of freedom - what my soul simply knew - was bigger than any restriction.
