In haunting, unvarnished stories, they tell of imprisonment, rape, loss and the immeasurable suffering they had to endure. But despite the unimaginable cruelty, their stories also reveal courage, resilience and an unbroken will to regain hope. They remind us that documenting history is not just about recording facts but about honoring the humanity of those who lived through it.Rawan Fouad Abdi has spent years collecting these testimonies to come to terms with the crimes and to ensure that the world is listening. Frozen in the Past is thus more than a collection of survival stories - it is an appeal against forgetting and a call for justice.
