Rachel Corrie was a 23-year-old individual of remarkable character, born and raised in the picturesque city of Olympia, Washington, who dedicated her life to the pursuit of peace, human rights, and social justice. Her extraordinary commitment to these noble causes led her to embark on a courageous journey, one that would ultimately test her resolve and spirit in the face of adversity. On 16 March 2003, Rachel's remarkable story came to a devastating close when she was tragically crushed to death by an Israeli bulldozer, as she valiantly attempted to protect the home of a Palestinian family from demolition.
