Title: The Last Girl Pdf My Story of Captivity, and My Fight Against the Islamic State
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 an ongoing genocide. 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.
Shocking account of evil. There are sunny people who say things like "There's goodness in everyone!" and encourage us all to share in their oblivious view of humanity. When you encounter those people, tell them to get their heads out of the sand and hand them a copy of this book.The evil men and women that this brave young woman encountered--they did it in the name of religion. Religious fervor and belief in a "God" seem to be the main source of evil in this world. This book expresses that truth.Nadia is an amazing human being Nadia is smart, kind, thoughtful, beautiful, generous, funny, loving, patient, joyful, good, faithful, and pure of heart. She is proud to be Yazidi, and rightfully so. And everyone, no matter their faith, who seeks to be a person of deep character and integrity will do well to imitate Nadia. She is an amazing human being and this, her story, is a powerful story of good overcoming evil. I love you Nadia. And everyone who reads this book will love you. May ISIS be brought to justice and may God shower grace and mercy on all Yazidis.Impossible to review as a book This story is so overwhelming that reviewing it as a book is not feasible because this is not a book. It is a story told extraordinarily well and presents many lessens, one of the most interesting being the value of a religion, including those whose foundation and practices many would find strange. The author is a true hero whose life after her capture by ISIS would not be something anyone would wish on their worst enemy. Some stories are so sad they are hard to read. There is nothing hard about reading this very sad but ultimately uplifting journal.
