Vice: If you had been able to bring just one thing with you from Iraq when you left, what would it have been?
Ashin: This teddy bear. My granddad gave it to me on the day I was born. I haven’t seen him since 1991, on the day I left Iraq.

NOOR, 23
Vice: Is that Saddam?
Noor: Yes, these Iraqi 100 dinar bills have his face on them. This one is over 10 years old.
Why does it make you homesick for Iraq?
It’s from a bus ride I took with my sister when we were living in Iraq. We were arguing about whose turn it was to pay, and this note was left over. We wrote the date on the back of it to remember the fight. |

It used to belong to my granddad. He gave it to me five years ago, when I moved to Sweden.
Did your granddad move too?
No, I came here with my family. My granddad is dead now. |
