“The cost to feed and educate one Tibetan refugee child for a year is equal to the cost of one hundred falafel sandwiches. Whoever is willing to sacrifice 600 Shekels a year can adopt a Tibetan child.” The appeal to the viewer, using “Israeli economics,” is given in Hebrew outside a Tibetan temple in India. Mikey Gingold has spent almost a decade in Dharamsala where he champions the cause of the Tibetan people. His greatest achievement is not with the Tibetan children, but in establishing a museum to commemorate the Tibetan culture and the lives of those Tibetans who were killed as a result of China’s occupation of their land. Perhaps unsurprisingly, Mikey did much of his research for the Tibetan museum by looking at the example of Yad Vashem, Israel’s Holocaust museum. However, the differences between the two nations’ experiences are not lost on Mikey. A visit to the museum by Mikey’s mother raises questions about the parallel in the nations’ histories, and also touches the differencesTibet and Israel have experienced as occupied and occupier.
