Family photographs, records & stories
Every branch of the Sadeq family carries its own photographs, documents and memories. This archive is a place for all of them.
Village records & surviving places.
The archive begins with the village itself — its map, its homes, its paintings and the documents that connect our family to Dayr al-Qasi.
The home of Abdil Majid Abdullah.
The home of Abdil Majid Abdullah is one of the Sadeq family homes in Dayr al-Qasi that still stands today. Its stone exterior and remarkable painted interiors remain a rare physical connection to the village and to the lives lived there before 1948.
The house featured by Haaretz
In November 2024, Haaretz featured the home of Abdil Majid Abdullah in an article about surviving Palestinian mansions built before 1948. The article highlights the house as one of the remarkable surviving homes of the Galilee and draws particular attention to its extraordinary murals, painted ceilings and architectural details.
Every family has a story.
The Sadeq family is spread across many countries and generations. This part of the archive is meant to grow with the stories, photographs and memories of every branch of the family.
