Translators in Iraq
|
| |
Minnesota, USA (Twin Cities): Though Deanna Germain's book, "Reaching Past the Wire: a Nurse at Abu Ghraib" discusses the hardships at Abu Ghraib, it may be her relationships with the prisoners and Iraqi translators that leave the most lasting impression on readers. […] Germain got to know the six Iraqi translators well and became close to several of them. The translators risked their lives to ensure that the patients and healers could communicate with each other. The very fact that they worked with Americans put them in peril; they were not able to tell those close to them where they worked, and they were in constant jeopardy that a detainee would recognize them. The translators emphasized to Germain that they got along, as did many Iraqis, despite their sectarian differences.
