Nujeen
taught herself English by watching American soap operas. When ISIS set up its headquarters in Raqqa, less than 100 miles from her small town of Manbij in northern Syria, she and her family were forced to flee. The grueling sixteen-month odyssey by foot, boat, and bus took her across Turkey and the Mediterranean to Greece, through Macedonia to Serbia and Hungary, and finally to Germany.

Nujeen
's extraordinary optimism never wavered. Refusing to give in to despair or see herself as a passive victim, she kept her head high.

Nujeen
now lives in Wesseling, a suburb of Cologne in Germany.
