1. Where and when did Elias Chacour grow up and what did his family do for a living?

Elias Chacour grew up in the village of Biram, a small agricultural community in Palestine, in the 1940's. For generations, his family had owned fig and grape orchards.

2. Under whose rule was Palestine since the 1930's, what kind of people was the population, how did they get along and how did the residents feel about themselves after World War II?

Palestine itself had been under British rule since the 1930's, and it was generally hoped, by resident and peacefully co-existing Jews, Christians, and Moslems, that an independent state would soon be formed. Palestine had been largely unaffected by World War II, and residents truly believed that they were intact and ready for self-rule.

3. What did Elias' father explain about the Jews coming to the town?

His father sat all the children around the fire for supper and explained the story of Hitler and the Holocaust in Europe during the war. The Jews, he stated, wanted homes far away from Europe and soon Jewish soldiers would be arriving from Britain and staying in the homes of villagers for a few days.
