Hearing of my project, a Jewish colleague sent me information and an obituary on the Palestinian psychiatrist Eyad El-Sarraj, who died in December 2013 at the age of 70. He did so again in 2009, when he imagined the grim future for many of these children of the times. Dr El-Sarraj was born in Beersheba, studied medicine in Egypt, and psychiatry in London, where he married an English woman. Since he is not, let us honor his vision together: Jewish, Muslim, and other psychiatrists for interfaith peace and healing. Akram F, Kershner I. Eyad El-Sarraj, psychiatrist who fought for Palestinians’ rights, dies at 70.
