The Anfal Genocide: a Criminally Unknown Genocide that Needs Our Attention, Now.

In 1941, the world began to learn of the mass murder of Jewish people in what would become known as the Holocaust. In 1948, world leaders gathered, shocked by the events they had witnessed, and vowed that human rights atrocities would never happen again. In 1986, this promise was broken when 182,000 Kurds were killed during the Anfal Campaign in Iraq.
