Dominika

Dominika

If it were for us, the Palestina-Israel conflict would not exist. Ma'moun fell in love with me when he saw me bellydancing, he looked four months for my number. I feel that hisPalestinian-muslim culture is closer to my jewish culture. Sometimes he jokes that if there were more jewish boys in Slovakia, I would not have fallen for him.

I was sixteen when I found out that I am jewish. My family has always been trying to hide this. My father and his brother are baptised, just to protect them. Since I know I am jewish, I have been exploring this part of my cultural identity alone, my family is too used to hide it. For me it is part of my identity. I am not going to pretend I am not.
