Yazidis are originally from northern Iraq. They are a religious minority there and have endured persecution, even genocide, by the Islamic State (ISIS). During the 1990s, around 20,000 Yazidi refugees fled Iraq. Many made a new home in Germany, host of the world’s largest Yazidi community outside Iraq—between 60,000 to 200,000 people. Some Yazidis have gotten involved in Germany’s society and have become influential voices in human rights activism, academia, and politics. Despite being displaced, the Yazidis in Germany have staunchly preserved their culture and religion, which blends ancient Mesopotamian and Abrahamic traditions. They worship through a mediator called the “Peacock Angel.” They do not worship God through Jesus Christ.
