Mansour Omari, a Syrian human rights activist who was imprisoned for nine months and tortured by the Assad regime, smuggled out scraps of cloth recording the names of all 82 of his cellmates. The United States Holocaust Memorial Museum is exhibiting them to raise awareness of atrocities committed by the regime. This is Mansour’s story. [Paragraph] In chapter 16, Mansour guides us through the exhibition "Syria: Please Don't Forget Us" at the Museum. He tells us about his friend Nabil Shurbaji, who was killed after spending two years in the Assad regime's prisons. By focusing on victims, says Mansour, this exhibition "can provide a small measure of symbolic justice to Syrians."
