#culturicide / PEN America: “Gravely Alarmed” by Destruction and Damage to Hundreds of Culture and Educational Sites in Gaza
“Schools, libraries, mosques, churches, and cultural centers are not just buildings; they are sanctuaries of knowledge, bastions of cultural identity, and beacons of intellectual and artistic freedom. Libraries in particular safeguard cultural heritage and history. For many in Gaza, they represented places to gather, to celebrate, and to learn. To see such cultural institutions in ruins represents a tragic loss for their communities, ” said Liesl Gerntholtz, inaugural director, PEN/Barbey Freedom to Write Center.
