A War Without Chocolate: One Woman's Journey Through Two Nations, Three Wars and Four Children

The headlines tell us of inhumanity and horror in some desperate parts of our world. Behind these headlines are millions of people trying to just live their life and provide for their families. This is one woman's story of living her life through three wars while raising four children. It is a story where inspiring acts of humanity bloom from a desert of savage inhumanity. The wars and changing boundaries had profound effects on their lives, setting back careers and dividing families. Mrs' Majaj not only survived, but managed to carve out a noble and dignified life for herself and her family. While a river of desperate people sought refuge away from the only homes they had ever known, she stood firm. She supported her husband, Dr. Amin Majaj, with his career as a doctor, politician and medical researcher, raised her family, and was the Director of the Princess Basma Center for Disabled Children. This is a behind the scenes look at Jerusalem through the recent wars told by one who lived through them. It is a life well lived and a story worth telling.
