About this listen

'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.

This was such an incredible story of survival in the face of terrible evil. I felt the narrator was excellent and this increased the impact of Nadias escape from ISIS and the horrors they inflicted on the Yazidis. Having listened to this audiobook i now feel so much empathy for this people and their culture. Highly recommended.

This is a touching story of the Yazidis of Iraq, my homeland.
It is a must read for all Iraqis, Muslims and people around the globe as a proof on how religion is poisonous and should be left as a personal choice not a living ideology.

A genuine story from a brave girl

A heartbreaking and heartwarming read. I was brought to tears at times but so glad I read it. This story, and unfortnately many others like it world wide, should never have truly been experienced!

The Truth

The story of Nadia is unbelievably sad. The reason I gave only 3 points for performances was the narrators way of reading - which is probably more suitable for exiting children books. At times it made the horrific experiences from Nadia and her fellow sufferers sound unrealistic.

Shocking, sad, terrifying
