This document titled "I REMEMBER" was written by Dr. Attallah Alexander "Ted" Kidess in 1949. He discusses his memories of Jerusalem and the events that occurred in the city, such as hearing the church bells and playing with friends. He reminisces about the different religions that made up the people of Jerusalem, and how everyone came together to celebrate. The Christians, Jews, and Muslims used to be at peace as they spent their time in Jerusalem. His last paragraph talks about how the three religions are now "bleeding and crying" and looking for the peace to be restored. For biography of Attallah A. Kidess, see: https://springfield.as.atlas-sys.com/agents/people/579.
