I 34.5531° N, 18.0480° E 1,2,3,4 | By Lara Atallah It happened like this. A week after the Six Day War, Sam walked to the eastern bank of the Jordan River. He was working as a counselor that summer near Karameh at a day camp for boys. Although the fighting occurred further upstream, camp activities had been suspended until a few days before. Then came the ceasefire and the usual schedule resumed: soccer in the morning, literacy after lunch, assorted games in the afternoon, orange juice and croissants in plastic wrap, and a bus to take them back to the city.
