Young Gaza Writer Brings Unseen Suffering to Light in Poignant Memoir.

In "Witness to the Hellfire of Genocide," a deeply personal memoir, Wasim Said delves into the uncharted depths of human suffering, confronting readers with stories that defy comprehension.

For Wasim Said, every chapter is a poignant reminder that death seems inevitable in many cases, and yet, he continues to hold on to the hope that by documenting his story, others will be able to bear witness. The book's title itself – "Witness to the Hellfire of Genocide" – encapsulates the anguish and pain that permeate every page.
Said's memoir serves as a poignant reminder that stories are not just mere recollections but living threads that weave our collective past together. In the darkest of times, it is these stories that give us the strength to carry on, to resist forgetting, and ultimately, to create a world where such tragedies are never repeated again.

. It's so sad what this kid went through. I mean, can you even imagine being 24 and already living through all that trauma? 
And yet, he keeps going, writing this book as a way to hold on to humanity amidst all the destruction. It's like, his story is a beacon of hope in itself, you know? 
.
. As someone who's lived through their fair share of struggles, I can only imagine the weight of carrying around those memories for so long. Wasim Said's bravery in sharing his story is a testament to the human spirit, and I'm blown away by his determination to keep writing despite the danger.
. I think this is what literature does best – it gives voice to the voiceless, and reminds us that even in the darkest times, there's always hope.
. But seeing Wasim Said's story, I'm reminded that our struggles are not unique, and that we're all in this together 
. It's a powerful reminder to keep writing, to keep sharing our stories, and to hold on to hope for a better future 
.
. It's like he's sharing his story, his pain, and his hope all at once, which is pretty powerful, if you ask me

I'm sure it's super relatable to have to deal with genocide and displacement while trying to write a book... but hey, at least he gets to share his trauma with us, right? 
The fact that he still wants to share his story is just heartbreaking 
It's like, can't we learn from each other's experiences and work towards a better future? 
We need more people like Wasim Said who are brave enough to speak out against injustice
