Fear & Hate chronicles Fatmir Sadiku's life under Serbian occupation in Kosovo—from childhood through forced exile to Canada. As a journalist for Rilindja and a human rights worker with the Council for the Defense of Human Rights and Freedoms, he documented atrocities that reached the United Nations and appeared in Human Rights Watch reports.
THIS IS A STORY OF:
Witness Testimony - Documenting his cousin Banush's murder by regime forces in 1993, with complete witness accounts that appeared in international human rights reports
Systematic Persecution - Surviving interrogation after organizing the 1991 independence referendum, border torture in 1994, and decades of occupation
Impossible Choices - Leading thirteen young men across a 2,498-meter mountain at night during the 1999 war while his wife and children fled on tractors below, separated by conflict
A Mother's Courage - His wife Meri walking into a neutral zone controlled by Serbian police, a machine gun aimed at her chest, determined to get bread for their starving children
A Daughter's Survival - Their daughter Silva, caught in crossfire between two armies, lying in snow all day wondering "if this was how dying begins"
Unbreakable Bonds - A family hiding their wedding rings in a hollow tree before fleeing, hoping someday to return
But this is also a story of unexpected grace: the Serbian doctor who performed free surgery despite personal risk, the Macedonian officer who found their lost daughter in border chaos, the Canadian community that welcomed refugees with open hearts.
Twenty-seven years later, with ten grandchildren spread across Canada and Germany, Fatmir reflects: "The ache of exile lingers, but so does the quiet strength of a life rebuilt with dignity."
Perfect for readers of The Beekeeper of Aleppo, We Wish to Inform You That Tomorrow We Will Be Killed With Our Families, and The Unwanted.
A powerful testament to survival, resistance, and the human cost of love under oppression.
