  • Rwanda, reconciliation afteer the1994 genocide.<br>Marianna Nyirantagorama, 58 I am the only one from our family who survived the genocide. My mother, two brothers and four sisters ended up in a mass grave. I was one of the few survivors in the midst of a crowd of dead people in the church where most of my family were murdered. I played dead among the bloody corpses. This man killed my eldest sister. In sociotherapy I could forgive him. I saw his remorse. Marc Nyandekwe, 60 I spent six years and nine months in prison. After my release, I couldn’t face Marianna. At first, I barricaded myself in my house. Later I went to work elsewhere. Occasionally, I returned to my family. Marianna told my wife I no longer needed to flee. I was convinced it was a trap. She brewed banana beer and offered me a bottle. I refused. I was afraid she wanted to poison me. But she lent us money. She saw how poor our family was. She gave me jobs. The woman whose sister I killed kept me alive.
