Children are the often neglected population of every city, they are invisible, they leave very little records and unless of tragic events once children are adults their youth is forgotten. Julia Shatz tells us about her work trying to bring back to life the children of Jerusalem during the British Mandate. Most of the material is to be found in the American Colony archives, managed by the previous guest of the podcast Rachel Lev. The fascinating story of the American Colony was also told by Abigail Jacobson  who has published extensively on their humanitarian work. Julia, as well told, us about a key humanitarian work provided by members of the colony and under the British by a multiplicity of individuals. Nurses are another invisible category, often neglected in historical narratives, they played a key role in Jerusalem helping Jerusalemites of all faiths and ethnicities. Originally published on 04/13/2022Welcome to Jerusalem Unplugged Podcast.
