The Baby in the Bag

“The Baby in the Bag” is a compilation of four riveting first-hand accounts of refugees from modern-day Turkey. Their homelands rapidly turned into open-air prisons that persecuted them for crimes that they had not committed. They stood strong in the face of employment termination, harassment, persecution, incarceration, smuggling, and death in order to defy all odds and find freedom in faraway lands. Their narratives sound more like movies than lived experiences, yet they are the stories of thousands of innocent people.
The title refers to the book’s flagship story of the same name, an intense story of a mother’s requirement to hide her newborn in a duffel bag in order to safely escape Turkey. Join our heroes on their journeys as they search desperately for some of life’s most important treasures; family, freedom, liberty, and happiness.

The heroes of the persecution in Turkey are the mothers. “Umuttur insanı yaşatan” a new true story. (In Turkish)

Umuttur insanı yaşatan
“0, bize
gülümseyerek
el sallıyordu.
O gün o kadar
çok ağladım ki,
hayat arkadaşımı,
yoldaşımı bir
bilinmeze bırakıp
gidiyor olmak yakıp
kavuruyordu beni.”
“Kelle koltukta hizmet edilen,
ama kimsenin yolundan
dönmeyi aklının ucundan
bile geçirmediği, altın
kıymetinde günler yasadık.”
“Tutuklu olan
eşlerini göremeyen,
çocuklarından ayrı
ama yine de dimdik
duran kahramanlar.
Mahkeme günleri,
adliye binasının
önüne gidip eşiyle
göz göze gelebilmek
için adliye önlerinde
bekleyenler…”
