"In Gaza, in the rubble of an active genocide and through 13 displacements, Omar Hamad has built the Phoenix Library. Books were passed hand to hand through rubble, preserved across each forced relocation and carried when almost nothing could be carried and when others were reduced to burning their books for cooking fuel. Gaza’s first library since the genocide began – built not after, not in the aftermath, not when it was safe – but during."

"In his own words: Building a library during a genocide is an act that rises to the level of freedom – perhaps it is freedom itself."
