New York, NY February 21, 2021: Award-winning photojournalist Bassam Khabieh has created a uniquely impactful study of the lives of children during conflict in his forthcoming book, Witnesses to War: The Children of Syria. The book's power is deepened with the addition of an introductory essay and interview by acclaimed writer Alia Malek (The Home That Was Our Country: A Memoir of Syria), Bassam's personal vignettes, and a timeline of the major elements of the long conflict. A student who became a war photographer out of necessity, Khabieh's images reflect eight years of life within rebel-held Eastern Ghouta.
