The book's cover illustration—an original Arab building that still stands at Deir Yassin—is an oil painting by Ann Leggett that is being offered by silent auction, with the final bid benefiting the memorial project. In the book's opening pages, McGowan announces an international competition for design of the memorial, the winner of which will be offered a $50,000 prize, and a subsequent chapter contains projected landscape designs for such a future landmark.
