The horrific persecution and ethnic cleansing of Christians and other minorities by ISIS is all over the news. Listen to the president of the Young Assyrians talk about what is happening to his people in Iraq and Syria right now, a Jewish Australian tell her family’s story of expulsion from Libya in the 1940s and the executive director of the Armenian National Council tell of the Armenian genocide in the early 20th century. How can our communities support each other through past and present trauma?
