Our Assyrian Story tells the real-life saga of an ancient community fighting to preserve its language and culture in the face of land encroachment, religious persecution, and assimilation.

Assyrians, including Chaldeans and Syriacs, are an ethnic group that is primarily Christian and indigenous to parts of modern-day Iraq, Iran, Turkey, and Syria - an area referred to as Mesopotamia or the cradle of civilization. In recent decades, Assyrians have faced increased pressure to leave their ancestral homeland. In Iraq alone, prior to the U.S.-led invasion in 2003, the number of Assyrians was estimated at 1.5 million. Today, it's fewer than 130,000.

This book is an archive of Assyrian stories and photos by Joe Snell and published between 2017 and 2025 in The Assyrian Journal. This is not the Assyrian story, but simply a collection of a few stories.

Snell, Joe: - "Joe Snell left a career in Hollywood to share the story of Assyrians, including Chaldeans and Syriacs - an ethnic community scattered around the world and clinging to their culture. Since then, he's worked as a journalist at The Washington Post and found himself at the center of some of the world's biggest stories - reporting live during the 2025 U.S. presidential election, covering the White House, traveling across the country on breaking news assignments, and dispatching to events unfolding in the Middle East. For his work, he was awarded the National Press Photographers Association Best of Photojournalism award. In 2017, he founded The Assyrian Journal, an online news site covering the global Assyrian community."
