The Tomb of Spring: Testimony from Halabja. Life is a Story - story.one

When we think of Halabja, the image that immediately comes to mind is "Silent Witness," captured by photographer Ramazan Öztürk. It's a poignant photograph that over the years has become a symbol of the city's unimaginable tragedy. Yet, behind the heart-wrenching image of a baby who fell victim to the gas attack cradled in his father's arms, there lies a deeper truth.

Who was the child frozen forever in time in this tragic moment? What stories would he have whispered to us us if the attackers had granted him more than just a short visit in this life?

While the world around her lies in ruins and the air is tainted with poison, a little girl takes her very first steps. Despite the danger that surrounds her and driven by innocent determination, this tiny being has only one goal in mind: to showcase the newly discovered ability to walk to all those who are close to her.
