In 1994, native Rwandan Immaculee Ilibagiza was a 22-year-old college student with a bright future in electrical engineering. While visiting her parents for Easter that year, the assassination of Rwandan’s Hutu president sparked a three-month killing spree that would shock the world and claim the lives of nearly a million ethnic Tutsis, including Immaculee’s parents and two brothers. She survived the holocaust by hiding in a Hutu pastor’s tiny bathroom with seven other terrified women for 91 unforgettable days.
Immaculee’s remarkable story of survival is only the beginning of an inspiring journey through faith to an impossible end—to seek out and forgive even her family’s killers. She chronicles her experience in Left To Tell: Discovering God Amidst the Rwandan Holocaust, published in 2006.
