Witness in Palestine: A Jewish American Woman in the Occupied Territories

Composed of hundreds of color photographs, original maps, and eyewitness stories, Witness in Palestine follows Baltzer’s eight months working with the International Women's Peace Service in the West Bank, documenting human rights abuses and supporting Palestinian-led nonviolent resistance. Meet Munira, who has lost her freedom and land to the Wall that encages her home and family. Meet Hessa, who lost her twin babies because her village is separated from the nearest hospital by a checkpoint that is closed all night long. Meet Omar, who has chosen the path of peaceful resistance after six months imprisonment without charge and the losses of his best friend, cousin, and brother. Meet the people of Palestine and the Israeli and international volunteers supporting their nonviolent movement for freedom and equality.
