THE TEL AVIV TRAGEDY: A Story of Forgiveness, Hope, and Transformation is written 53 years after a terrorist attack, also known as the Lod Airport Massacre, that took place in Israel on May 30, 1972. The attack claimed the lives of 26 people, including 17 Puerto Ricans.

The author, Damaris, a BGU alum and daughter of Vasthi Zila Morales, one of those who lost their lives, recounts what happened before, during, and after the attack from her family’s deeply personal perspective. The book includes the moving testimonies of two survivors: Rev. Jose Vega Franqui, whose life was saved by a small New Testament he carried in his pocket, and Rosita Vazquez, who would later play an essential role in the life of this family.
