In Lalish village, Iraq, hundreds of Yazidis, recently released by ISIL, gather at the holy center to be welcomed by Sheikh Hussein. Many are sick and traumatized, with some unable to remember their own names. Kidnapped in August and released last month, these Yazidis were forced to convert to Islam by ISIL, who massacred hundreds of their community. Yazidi leaders now call for a religious cleansing at the holy temple, though returning to their previous lives seems challenging for many.
