From Yafa Umm Al Ghreeb

This is photograph that is shown for the first time of children from Yaffa (Jafa); these children are probably now our grandparents. The image highlights how our grandparents lived during that wonderful summer, playing on the beach in the Manshiyya neighborhood, while camel caravans traveled along the shore laden with crates of oranges. The photograph is from 1945.
