When People Become Numbers
                 Anfal was a systematic attempt to exterminate the Kurdish population. This campaign was brutal on many levels (men, women, and children were killed with no discrepancy, their hands were tied together in mass executions so that they would fall into mass graves, genocide was committed against men and boys, women and girls were sent to internment camps, villages were razed, Kurdish heritage and language was attacked, and chemical weapons were used against them). This tragic event left a permanent mark on Kurdish society. It is hard to identify Anfal victims, we have lost their personal identities in the mass graves. Instead, these people have become numbers. Therefore, I want to give each one of the victims a second of my life: The exact second that we lost them.
