Sobrevivir Para Contarlo: Cómo Descubrí a Dios En Medio del Holocausto En Rwanda by Immaculee Ilibagiza

ricksilva's review against another edition
5.0
The story itself is intense, as the author describes her time hiding in a tiny cramped room while mass-murderers repeatedly searched for her and the other Tutsi women who had joined her in seeking refuge under the protection of a local pastor. There is no shying away from the horrors unfolding around their refuge, sometimes happening at their very doorstep.
While the author, a devout Catholic, is clear in crediting her faith in getting her through the horrors of the killings, as well as helping her to find inner peace and a life beyond the war, her voice never comes off as preachy. She takes comfort in her own path, and works through the process of survival, grief, and finally forgiveness.
This is a powerful piece of writing on an important and dark chapter of history.
