يوسف سامي اليوسف1938–2013
Born in 1938 in the village of Lubya, in the Tiberias subdistrict, he was driven out with his family after the Nakba; they reached Lebanon in October 1948 and settled in the Wavel camp in Baalbek, later renamed al-Jalil (Galilee) camp. A writer, translator, historian and literary critic, he admired the work of Samira Azzam and Ghassan Kanafani, and held that the Nakba shaped his critical consciousness. He died in the Nahr el-Bared camp on 2 May 2013.
