“Amjad Aun rose from the ashes of the Syrian civil war — and a crumbled apartment — to strive for freedom. ‘My parents always warned me: We are in the minority inside a dictatorship,’ Amjad Aun said. ‘And look at that photo; they were right to warn me.’ That’s the apartment Amjad grew up in, with his mother, father, sister, and brother, who passed away in 2008. They lived there until 2011, when the Syrian Civil War began and Amjad’s family had to leave everything behind and start a new life. Syria’s demographics were at the root of it. They form a complex culture that Amjad has had to navigate since childhood — especially because he is in the minority.” (01/14/25)
