BETHLEHEM (Ma'an) -- A unique museum has been set up on the path of Israel's wall, which snakes through the West Bank city of Bethlehem.
An initiative of the Sumud Story House, it is designed to communicate Palestinian women’s stories about the "truth of Palestinian life which the wall tries to hide and kill," a statement said.
Each panel contains a story that was either written or chosen by Palestinian women’s groups who convene at the Sumud Story House.
During Christmas, 25 posters are being attached to the wall on the northern side of Rachel’s Tomb. Through individual sponsorship, the museum will gradually expand.
The Sumud Story House is part of the Arab Educational Institute in Bethlehem.
