Gulan is pleased to support the launch of ‘The Resurrected’, the debut novel by renowned author and genocide researcher Joost Hiltermann. This powerful work of fiction reimagines the harrowing true story of two young men who survived the Anfal genocide in Iraqi Kurdistan.

Based on the author’s extensive documentary research and testimonies collected during his time with Human Rights Watch (1992–1994), the novel follows their separate escapes from Saddam Hussein’s killing fields and their eventual journeys to America. It is a profound story of luck, nerve, perseverance, and the complex, split-soul lives of first-generation immigrants.
