Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
I've got all kinds of questions, but thank you so much, ladies, for being here and sharing your stories. In our experience, we would associate these kinds of stories with the Second World War. We don't associate them with the modern age and our generation. It's out of our realm.
Ms. Daoud, you quoted “By the rivers of Babylon, there we sat down”. This is not the first time that the Jewish people have had this story in Babylon, and it's reprehensible that it's repeated. It really is.
I have three questions. Two of them go together, and perhaps each of you can address them.
First, your story will always be your story, and nobody can take that away, but is there anything that would ever bring closure for you on this? Ms. Shashoua, you talked about frozen assets. The second part of that question is, are you looking for international governments to put pressure on the Iraqi government for repayment, to release some of that to the people who fled? My other question is, because of your own experience, are you concerned that your story is going to be repeated, if not in Iraq, somewhere else, to the same degree?
