- Aḥmad Muḥsin (1984-, Lebanon) – Wārsū Qabla Qalīl (2014, ‘Warsaw a Little While Ago’). A Jewish pianist, Yūzīf, flees the Nazis from Poland to Israel, but soon ends up in Beirut, Lebanon, where he meets Mārī with whom he has a son, Fādī (reference). After the murder of his son and death of his wife, only his grandson survives, a grandson who inherits his musical talent and Jewish identity, but is raised in Beirut. They return to Poland together when the 2006 Lebanon War breaks out (see 2006 Lebanon War) where the grandson lives a similar sense of alienation as his grandfather did (reference) (also in R: Religion and Sectarianism: Judaism and Arab-Jew Relationships).
