Imagine growing up behind the walls of a magnificent yet foreboding institution that fascinated, mystified, and even terrified the public of Jerusalem. This architectural marvel, shunned and avoided by many, was home to a teenager in search of her identity. During the 1960s, Rivka Regev spent her youth within the compound of the Hansen Government Hospital, where her father served as the volunteer resident physician. The hospital was a place of refuge, caring for those ostracized by society due to Hansen's disease, which to this day is still mistaken for biblical leprosy.
In her poignant memoir, Rivka unveils thick layers of myth and ignorance surrounding this enigmatic place. Through captivating research into the hospital's history, architecture, patients, and staff, she takes readers on a journey of personal and historical discovery. Rivka shares the beauty and vestiges of Hansen House's trials and legacy in the first comprehensive book in English about Jerusalem's Jesus Hilfe, the 1887 asylum that became Hansen Hospital in 1951 and was rededicated as Hansen House in 0213. Now a preserved National Monument, it hosts a historic museum, Jerusalem Design Week, architectural studies, and diverse cultural events.
Enhanced with over 200 historic photos, maps, and computerized models, Rivka's memoir is a testament to resilience and transformation.
