Her only crime? Being a Uyghur. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eChina's brutal repression of Uyghurs, a Turkish-speaking Muslim ethnic group, has been denounced as genocide and reported widely in media around the world. In 2019, the New York Times published the \"Xinjiang Papers,\" leaked documents exposing the forced detention of more than one million Uyghurs in Chinese \"reeducation\" camps. The Chinese government denies that these camps are concentration camps, seeking to legitimize their existence in the name of the \"total fight against Islamic terrorism, infiltration and separatism\" and calling them \"schools.\" But none of this is true. Gulbahar only escaped thanks to the relentless efforts of her daughter, with the help of the French diplomatic corps. Others have not been so fortunate. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eHow I Survived a Chinese \"Reeducation\" Camp\u003c\/i\u003e, Gulbahar tells her story, describing the insidious nature of oppression, the dehumanizing effects of torture and brainwashing, and the human drive to survive--and resist--under even the most horrific circumstances.
