هوشة: منظر من الجهة الغربية للقرية التي دمرها الصهاينة وطهروا سكانها عرقياً. 1990

Dear Dr. Walid Khalidi,
I've been yesterday on the spot of Hawsha. I noted many information signs and one is was very much interested in. It was said that the village was populated in 1921 with refugees from Algeers, Marokko and other Northern Afric countries. Is that true? Since most of the area was owned by Jews, can you tell me it was a mixed village as El Buqeia, where I'm living?
Besides that: Can you tell me something about the mosk/shrine near the Karaman ressort next to Ibtin? About the Karaman family as well? Interesting old trees there!
Where do you live?
Waiting for your answer,

Ruth de Jong
