Finished book number two. The evil that existed in Rwanda during the genocide was horrific, shocking, and gruesome. The more I research and read about Rwanda I've come to believe that it was possibly the worst trespass upon humanity that our world has ever known. The world knew what was happening, but they chose to do nothing. Almost 1,000,000 people in 100 days were hunted, chopped up, and brutally murdered. Immaculee Ilibagiza gives a story that is unforgettable, she paints a vivid picture of her struggle to survive as a Tutsis. She gives a riveting detailed account of how she evaded danger and avoided extermination. The most profound part of this book was her faith in God. If I learned anything from her book, it is to pray always, to be forgiving, and God answers our prayers even at the most horrifying and dreadful times of our lives.
