Her first book is called ‘Het vergeten volk: het verhaal van de Jezidi’s over de laatste genocide’ (Forgotten people). In the summer of 2014, ISIS invaded the region of Sinjar in northern Iraq. Their aim was to systematically exterminate the Yezidis, an ethnic minority with its own ancient religion and culture. The men were murdered while the women and girls were sold into slavery; sons were forced to become child soldiers and the youngest children were sold to ISIS families. Brenda Stoter Boscolo travelled to Iraq to write about the Yezidi genocide.
