Hatzfeld, Jean

Jean Hatzfeld offers an inside look at the motives behind the genocidal massacre of almost a million people in Rwanda more than a decade ago, interviewing ten of the killers and examining why they killed thousands of men, women, and children.

In May 2003 the Hutus were pardoned for their part in the genocidal killings of the Tutsi in April 1994 in Rwanda. They went back to their former villages, living side-by-side as they always had, with their Tutsi neighbors. This book explores how this scenario is even possible and what the Tutsi survivors feel as they are foced to live alongside a Hutu that may have killed a family member or friend.

Presents a collection of oral histories from Tutsi survivors and confessed Hutu killers of the Rwandan genocide when the Hutus were released from prison and allowed to return to their homes.

The author brings together the personal accounts of several survivors of the genocide that occurred in Rwanda during the late 1990s, as they describe the deaths of their family and friends and their lives today.
