How it was planned? Who the central actors were? Why it was carried out? Who it was carried out against? How it has affected Kurdistan as a region? And how it affects Kurds now till this day?  As a witness of the Anfal Campaign, Mr. Yunis Haji, one of the only 7 survivors of the Anfal campaign living in United States gave a compelling eye witness story to the crowd.  Mr. Haji brought the audience into tears as he recalled his experience as one of the survivors of the genocide campaign against his nation.
