My maternal uncle, Joseph Katz, emigrated to Palestine in April 1948, one month before the Declaration of Independence of Israel. He bore the illusion of the building of a socialist state in Palestine. In 2006, I went to Israel to see him again and take up with my family again. Three generations: this old man, my uncle, his daugthers and their children. Each of them tied different links with this country in which they live and through their stories, I have tried to understand what it means to live in Israel nowadays.
