It was almost midnight when Omar Abdel Jabar heard a knock on the gate of his home in the Iraqi city of Mosul. His family froze at the sound. It was summer 2014 and #ISIS had taken over the city three months earlier. Visitors that late were rare, and the family feared it was militants. Then the knock came again. Jabar and his father slowly opened the gate to find a small figure, draped in a black niqab. “Please help me,” she pleaded. “They are raping me.” Jabar pulled her inside, hoping no one had seen her. She said her name was Nadia and that she was from a #Yazidi town on the southern edge of Sinjar Mountain that had been overrun by ISIS. She told them she had been captured, brought to #Mosul and sold in a slave market along with most of the women and girls from her village. The 19-year-old escaped the house where she was held thanks to an unlocked door. ISIS has killed thousands of Yazidis and kidnapped thousands more, forcing many women and children into slavery. Nadia Murad’s story, however, is known around the world. She has become an internationally recognized survivor of ISIS, a U.N. Goodwill Ambassador who was nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize in 2017. In her book, Murad lays out the horrors she went through in unsettling detail and pays homage to Jabar and his family. “I don’t know why he was good,” Murad writes, “and so many others in Mosul were so terrible.” They both made it to Germany, and live just a few hundred miles apart. But Jabar’s decision would come at a heavy price: he applied for asylum in March 2015, yet more than three years later he hasn’t been granted refugee status. Life in the small town of Torgau, south of Berlin, is lonely and isolating. “I just want to have them next to me,” he says of his wife and two children. The fates of Murad and Jabar highlight the cruel randomness of #refugee policies—that lives brought together can be set in haphazard, opposing directions. Still, he says, he doesn’t regret what he and his family did that night in 2014: “Anyone would do it.” Read more on TIME.com. Photograph by @mustafahabdulaziz for TIME
