Please join the inspiring presentation by Dr. Mansur Nurdel, author of an award-winning book:  "One More Mountain."

Dr. Nurdel will be in Louisville to accept an award for his book and has offered to meet with the Louisville Baha'is and their friends for an evening of inspiring stories about his escape from his homeland

Excerpt from his book:

“I was twenty-five in 1988 when I escaped my homeland with two of my closest friends. We fled illegally in the height of winter, with the help of Kurdish smugglers, traversing on foot over a forbidding, snowy, mountainous landscape. After weeks of struggle and moments where I felt certain we would all perish, I reached the safety of the United Nations refugee center in Ankara, Turkey. There, I was granted asylum from religious persecution. It would be more than a year before I arrived in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, speaking little English, knowing no one, and understanding little about American culture except what I gleaned from television.”
