"Left To Tell: Discovering God Amidst the Rwandan Holocaust" is a powerful memoir by Immaculée Ilibagiza, detailing her harrowing experience during the Rwandan genocide of 1994. The book recounts how Ilibagiza, a Tutsi, sought refuge in a small bathroom with several other women as violence erupted outside. Through her struggles, she not only faced the terror of the genocide but also her own emotional turmoil and fear, drawing on her faith in God for strength and hope.
Throughout her ordeal, Immaculée reflects on themes of forgiveness, resilience, and the search for peace in the midst of unimaginable suffering. Despite witnessing horrific acts of violence and losing most of her family, she finds solace in prayer and discovers a profound connection to God. Her faith becomes her anchor, guiding her through moments of despair and helping her to transcend her trauma.
