I am so happy to find this web site. I'm a graduate student in film and video and I will be making my thesis video about Al-Bassa and the community we have here in Toronto. My grandparents are from Bassa, I was born in Lebanon, and we now live in Canada. If anyone has information, stories, photographs, video footage of more recent trips to Bassa, or would be willing to be interviewed please contact me by email. I am also interested in the diasporic Bassa communities that gather in various parts of the world, and how the younger generations maintain their identity.
Thanks,
Vicky Manuel.

I have heard so much from my grandmother and my parents about their beautiful memories in his beautiful village, and with every picture i see of albassa, I try to relate a story to it.
We cant just let our history go.Foreigners dont know of our existance there before 1948, so lets tell them, and keep the memories alive. For all, my father is Youssef Chaer.My mother is Fahime Samara,and we live in Michigan now.

Its really nice to see our grandfather's village in this huge world. Iam from Bassa and feel free to contact me for more information. iam from Al-Bass camp in tyre and residing now in Denmark.

As a Bassawye married to a Bassawy living between Lebanon and Canada. this website brought warm memories of my childhood, the church where we used to live next to, and the mountains that we climbed escaping to Lebanon. God bless you for your effort and I hope I can contact many of my village friends over a muhammer dish washed down by a dip of dibs wa tahynie

I was impressed by the amount of information about Al-Bassa that I have happened to come across in this website. Keep up the good work...

My grandparents' description has clearly failed to portray the stunning beauty of Al Bassa. A site that moved us all to tears. It is vital to keep track of every little village's history and the war crimes committed in it.

Thank you for putting this up on the web.

Thank you for this website ... It has enlightened me and showed me what I'd never seen.

I hope we go back there soon.

My name is K. E. Ginblat, from al-Bassa north of Akaa. Today is my first time to see photos of my Grandfather's lands which I heard so much about. I like to thank the Webmaster so much for a job well done, & to say: We SHALL remember al-Bassa untill the last Bassawi. yours, K.E. Ginblat, Ottawa, Canada

I wish Zionists did not take Palestine away from its people, otherwise we would have been living there with my grandparents.
Thank you for letting me see my hometowns' pictures & read about its history.
FOR SURE I'LL BE REMEMBERING AL-BASSA.

It is a pleasure to find that this little village of Al Bassa is being remembered
