The persecution of the Yezidis, a religious community originating
in Upper Mesopotamia, has been ongoing since at least the 10th
century. On 3 August 2014, Islamic State attacked the Yezidi
community in Sinjar, Kurdistan. Thousands were enslaved or killed
in this genocide, and 100,000 people fled to Mount Sinjar,
permanently exiled from their homes. Here, Thomas Schmidinger talks
to the Yezidis in Iraq who tell the history of their people, why
the genocide happened and how it affects their lives today. This is
the first full account of these events, as told by the Yezidis in
their own words, to be published in English. The failure of the
Kurdistan Peshmerga of the PDK in Iraq to protect the Yezidis is
explored, as is the crucial support given by the Syrian-Kurdish
YPG. This multi-faceted and important history brings the fight and
trauma of the Yezidis back into focus, calling for the world to
remember their struggle.
