(KAIR) -- In 1994, members of the Hutu tribe in Rwanda took up arms against the Tutsi tribe.
In only 100 days, they slaughtered over 800,000 Tutsis using only spears, clubs and machetes.
It was genocide, and few Tutsis survived.
Immaculee Ilibagiza was one of the few.
In the years since the genocide, Ilibagiza has come to grips with what happened, and what she can do about it.
She has written a book, Left to Tell: Discovering God Amidst the Rwandan Genocide, and has been telling her story in venues around the world.
She will bring her message of faith and forgiveness to Benedictine College on Sept. 11, 2012. Her presentation, set for 7:30 p.m. in St. Benedict’s Abbey Church, is free and open to the public. Please note that, due to the monks’ evening prayers, doors will not open until 7:10 p.m.
Her book has received a Christopher Award "affirming the highest values of human spirit," and has been chosen as Outreach Magazine's selection for "Best Outreach Testimony/Biography Resource of 2007."
Left to Tell has been adopted into the curriculum of dozens of high schools and universities.
