Feature: Why Are There So Many Palestinians in Chile?

Library > Community Presentations

Presenter: Sofia Farah

Delivered: DC on January 27, 2019

I posed this question to myself a long time ago and received answers from family, friends, and community members. While all the explanations seemed plausible, I realized through my research that they were only partially accurate. This presentation provided the perfect opportunity to learn more about this important community and its origins.
