Summary
'Telling my story of first surviving genocide and then as a captive of ISIS is not easy, but people must know.'
The remarkable and courageous story of Nadia Murad, a 23-year-old Yazidi woman who is working with Amal Clooney to challenge the world to fight ISIS on behalf on her people. With a foreword by Amal Clooney.
A Nobel Peace Prize nominee, the first Goodwill Ambassador for the Dignity of Survivors of Human Trafficking of the United Nations and winner of the Vaclav Havel Human Rights Prize, Nadia Murad is a courageous young woman who has endured unimaginable tragedy (losing 18 members of her family) and degradation through sexual enslavement to ISIS. But she has fought back.
This inspiring memoir takes us from her peaceful childhood in a remote village in Iraq through loss and brutality to safety in Germany. Courage and testimony can change the world: this is one of those books.

you have not heard a step like this before
well read. great performance but I think most importantly is how it tells of struggle for survival and also encountering humanity at its worst. loved this book, at first I was apprehensive because I thought it would be too heavy but there is a good balance between the history or iraq, politics & religion and the story of Nadia.

Was the world asleep when this happened?
I sobbed through most of this account of genocide against the Yazidi people. I would just like to know where the world leaders were and if they were asleep when this happened? How on earth did this take place in 2014? There is no excuse for any kind of genocide against minorities in the 21st century. Have they ever heard of Allport's scale of discrimination and genocide obviously not. Every single perpetrator of these crimes and those that supported them should be brought to Justice and I also pray for the Yazidi people of the world and that their culture and religion will flourish I'll be kept alive for many many centuries to come. Nadia Murad is an amazing superhero and a warrior Queen I have an amazing amount of respect for her.

Heartbreaking. Important. Excellently narrated.
One of the saddest stories a human can tell... Story of horrific cruelty. I wish this was just a fiction, but it's so brutally real it hurts. Skilfully written, excellently narrated. 10/10

Heartbreaking
I could not stop listening, what an inspiration this young woman is to humankind. I cannot begin to imagine how awful her world must have been and how she has overcome this to fight for human rights.

Wake up People!
Her story represents one of so many heartbreaking, soul destroying stories that need to be told. I’m glad to hear that she was allowed to speak in Canada following the woke campaign to try and stop her. It took courage to tell your story!

story of the oppressed
The book gives good insight into atrocities done by ISIS. It also shows a life and a mindset of simple life Yazidi people. The mindset of ignorance (the emerging presence of enemy in the region) and helplessness (blaming other parties for not being helped).
