Steve Maman is a modern day Oskar Schindler. Only instead of liberating Jews from Nazi Death Camps, he’s rescuing Iraqi Yazidis and Christians from ISIS sex slavery:
Maman is a Moroccan Jew who resides in Canada. Eight months ago he founded the organization, Liberation of Christian and Yazidi Children of Iraq (CYCI). Since then, he has freed at least 128 females from the clutches of the Islamic State.
One of them was only nine-years old. She had been raped so brutally, reconstructive surgery was required on her internal organs.
Why is ISIS doing this? Watch as he explains their motivation:
Maman says the going rate for purchasing a Yazidi or Christian sex slave ranges from $50-$500 depending on the age and beauty of the girl. He wants to liberate as many as he can.
Here he talks about Oskar Schinder, and how the German industrialist’s example motivated him to act:
Schindler liberated at least 12-hundred Jews from the Nazis during World War II. His story became the subject of Steven Speilberg’s award winning movie Schindler’s List.:
Many people looked the other way and ignored the Holocaust against the Jews saying they didn’t know it was happening. Maman suggests there’s no excuse to ignore the raping and enslavement of Iraqi and Syrian girls by ISIS today, in this modern age of television and internet :
Let’s remember to pray for these sex slaves. And these girls–and this modern day Schindler, desperately need our help.
