Survivors tell NBC News that ISIS fighters entered Kuchu on August 3, stayed for several days, and eventually separated the men from their families. The men were then driven to the groves outside of the village, lined up and shot. Villagers estimate that around 500 men were executed.
ISIS militants dragged away hundreds of Kuchu's girls, women and children. Farida ended up in Raqqa, where she was sold as a concubine. Over the course of the next several months she was raped, beaten and starved. She says more than half of the 80 girls in the slave market in that room in Raqqa were from Kuchu.
Kweida was also taken from Kuchu. She's a 12-year-old.
"We were surrounded. They told us to convert (to Islam), but we wouldn't," Hweida said in a halting voice. She spoke so quietly it was hard to hear her. "They took us to the school in the village and separated the men. Then they took us away."
