A special event will mark the 25th anniversary of the genocide against the Tutsi in Rwanda. Dr. Tharcisse Seminega, a Tutsi professor at the University of Rwanda in Butare, and his family narrowly escaped the machetes. Charles Rutaganira, who lived in the capital Kigali, was left for dead in a heap of corpses but survived. These survivors will tell their stories and reflect on the genocide and the urgent message it conveys for citizens of the world today.
Dr. Tharcisse Seminega‘s new memoir No Greater Love: How My Family Survived the Genocide in Rwanda will be published in April.

“What enabled us to offer moral resistance and stay firm in the face of a tyrannical state?
“Our strong convictions helped us reject omnipresent propaganda, respond to hateful persecution with love and forgiveness, and conquer despair thanks to our firm hope.
“May these reflections, testimonies, and narratives help our visitors understand that intolerance leads to exclusion, persecution, and ultimately annihilation.
“May these historical accounts likewise inspire strength and courage in those suffering oppression of all kinds.”
