Abstract

Khaled Abu Awwad is the General Manager of the Israeli-Palestinian Bereaved Families Forum. Roni Hirshenson is the Forum's president and one of its founders. Established in 1995 with an Israeli office in Tel Aviv and a Palestinian office in A-Ram (north of Jerusalem), the Bereaved Families Forum is a grassroots organization of Palestinian and Israeli families who have lost family members to the violence in the region. These families have united in a joint mission to prevent further bereavement by working for peace and reconciliation. The Forum has received several international awards in recognition of its work, including the Eisenhower Medallion, the Three Cultures Award, the Solidar Silver Rose Award and the Common Ground Award.
