A Memoir · Gaza · Italy
A true story of surviving genocide, famine, loss, and learning how to live again.
Mohammed Aloosh · Survivor, writer, and witness.
Survivor, writer, and witness.
Born and raised in northern Gaza. I lived through six wars before the world finally looked away — or tried to. This book is what remains when everything else is gone.
Before
I had dreams, family, work, and a normal life.
After
I survived. But not as the same person.
A memoir written from inside the ruins — not as a report, but as a human being trying to hold onto what it means to be alive.
The most important person in my life.
My mentor. My best friend. The man who helped raise me.
There are people who hold us together without us ever noticing. He was that person for me. His story lives inside this book — and will live there forever.

Italy — peaceI was not searching for bodies.
I was searching for miracles.
My phone became a graveyard
of people I loved.
I survived genocide.
Now I am learning how to survive peace.
I was born in northern Gaza. I lived there through six wars, a childhood, a career, and twenty years of love and loss.
When the war came, I documented everything — not because I wanted to, but because someone had to. Because forgetting is the second death.
I now live in Italy on a scholarship, writing what I was not supposed to survive long enough to write.
