Description

Arjan Erkel werkte in 2002 voor Artsen Zonder Grenzen in Dagestan toen hij op brute wijze werd ontvoerd. Hij zat vervolgens twintig maanden in een donker hok van anderhalve bij twee meter, tussen de insecten en de muizen. Maandenlang zag hij geen gezichten; hij werd bewaakt door zwaarbewapende mannen met maskers. Hij vreesde meerdere keren voor zijn leven, werd heen en weer geslingerd tussen hoop en wanhoop en voelde zijn einde naderen tijdens nachtelijke ritten in de kofferbak van een auto, op weg naar nieuwe onzekerheid. Op Eerste Paasdag, 2004, werd Erkel na 607 dagen gevangenschap vrijgelaten. Op afwisselend emotionele en rationele wijze doet Erkel verslag van zijn voortdurende gevecht om te overleven, zijn strijd tegen angst, onzekerheid en eenzaamheid, en zijn strijd met zichzelf en het geloof. Zijn verhaal geeft aan hoe belangrijk het is hoop te houden, positief te blijven en met volharding en doorzettingsvermogen te blijven proberen de omstandigheden zo leefbaar mogelijk te houden.
