  • Chapter

Part of the book series: Moral Development and Citizenship Education ((MORA))

Abstract

Since 1995, members of the Bereaved Families Forum1 have been meeting and talking with one another. This group is comprised of roughly the same number of Israelis and Palestinians (now estimated to be about 600 families in total), all of whom lost a close family member to the violence in the region. Some members joined readily and others more reluctantly.
