Summary:

Can the means used to resolve the conflict in South Africa be applied to the Palestinian-Israeli conflict? As someone who experienced both conflicts firsthand, Robi Damelin wonders about this. Born in South Africa during the apartheid era, she later lost her son, who was serving with the Israeli Army reserve in the Occupied Territories. At first she attempted to initiate a dialogue with the Palestinian who killed her child. When her overtures were rejected, she embarked on a journey back to South Africa to learn more about the country's Truth and Reconciliation Committee's efforts in overcoming years of enmity. Robi's thought-provoking journey leads from a place of deep personal pain to a belief that a better future is possible. Can a person who stole the life of a woman's child ever truly be forgiven? Is acceptance of responsibility the path to sincere remorse? Is the dialogue between perpetrators and victims the key to ending generations of conflict and hate? <i>One Day After Peace </i>moves through South Africa, Israel and Palestine - three lands scorched and burned for generations - wondering if reconciliation can ever really be achieved. .
