Halabja 19 year memorial day

The day before today we travelled to Slemani with a stop in Kirkuk. It was snowing which is quite strange in Slemani at this time just some days before the Kurdish Newroz, New Year.

We were at a arts exhibition performed by our Youth Culture Center in Slemani. Impressing talents are teachers there and the result was a very special and very rare arts exhibition in its kind.

It was held at Saddams secret service office which in practice was a torture center and death chamber.


The day started with work and in "Bauhaus" this view could be enjoyed, even by the owner.
