David Shawgen is a research fellow and guide at Circassiologia, a museum devoted to the culture, history, and future of the Circassian people. What you might not expect is that this museum is located in Israel. In fact, it is the only museum in the Circassian diaspora. David shares how his people came to exist in Israel—along with Syria, Jordan, and many other places around the globe—and the fascinating dynamics of how he and his family live and coexist with their Arab and Israeli neighbors, as well as how they maintain their own culture, language, and way of life.
