Summary

David Harris-Gershon and his wife, Jamie, moved to Jerusalem full of hope. Then, in the midst of the historic cease-fire between Israel and the Palestinians, a bomb shrieked through Hebrew University's cafeteria. Jamie was hurled across the room, her body burned and sliced with shrapnel; the friends sitting next to her were instantly killed. David was desperate for answers. But when a doctor handed him some shrapnel removed from Jamie's body, he refused to accept that this piece of metal made him 'one of us' - a forever-traumatized victim. Instead, he dug into buried Israeli records to expose what triggered the attack, then returned to Israel to meet the terrorist and his family. This is their story.
