The Silent Fracture

By Himan Khorshidi and Heiner Hülsmann

The Silent Fracture is the true story of a life shaped by loss, imprisonment, flight, hunger, fear, and the search for a place to belong. From Iran through Turkey and Greece to Belgium and Germany, Himan Khorshidi recounts a journey marked by separation, survival, and the difficult reconstruction of identity.

At the center of the book is the aftermath of displacement: the loss of home, family, trust, and certainty. With directness and restraint, the author describes the psychological burden of uprooting, the tension between memory and a new beginning, and the quiet forms of strength required to rebuild a life.

The Silent Fracture is an intimate memoir about endurance, identity, belonging, and the long path toward starting again after nearly everything has been lost.
