- New York Times Editors' Choice In this intimate memoir of survival, a former captive of the Islamic State tells her harrowing and ultimately inspiring story. Nadia Murad was born and raised in Kocho, a small village of farmers and shepherds in northern Iraq. A member of the Yazidi community, she and her brothers and sisters lived a quiet life. Nadia had dreams of becoming a history teacher or opening her own beauty salon. On August 15th, 2014, when Nadia was just twenty-one years old, this life ended. Islamic State militants massacred the people of her village, executing men who refused to convert to Islam and women too old to become sex slaves. Six of Nadia's brothers were killed, and her mother soon after, their bodies swept into mass graves. Nadia was taken to Mosul and forced, along with thousands of other Yazidi girls, into the ISIS slave trade. Nadia would be held captive by several militants and repeatedly raped and beaten. Finally, she managed a narrow escape through the streets of Mosul, finding shelter in the home of a Sunni Muslim family whose eldest son risked his life to smuggle her to safety. Today, Nadia's story--as a witness to the Islamic State's brutality, a survivor of rape, a refugee, a Yazidi--has forced the world to pay attention to the ongoing genocide in Iraq. It is a call to action, a testament to the human will to survive, and a love letter to a lost country, a fragile community, and a family torn apart by war.
- Livet i byn Kocho i norra Irak är lugnt och stilla. Som barn drömmer Nadia Murad om att bli historielärare eller öppna en skönhetssalong. I augusti 2014 kidnappas Nadia, som nyss fyllt 21, och säljs som sexslav till Islamiska staten. Hennes familj mördas brutalt. Hon utsätts för upprepande misshandel och våldtäkt innan hon lyckas fly. Idag är hon bosatt i Tyskland och är goodwill-ambassadör för FN. 2016 nominerades hon till Nobels fredspris
