Join us to meet and hear from Samuel Totten at Nightbird Books on Saturday, February 25th at 7pm.
In We Cannot Forget, genocide scholar Samuel Totten of the University of Arkansas seeks to educate people across the globe about the 1994 Rwandan genocide. He also wants the book’s readers to take away the message that the time to prevent genocide is “when basic human rights are being violated on a systematic basis, when threats against particular groups become common occurrences and when periodic massacres are perpetrated.”

During a one-hundred-day period in 1994, Hutus murdered between half a million and a million Tutsi in Rwanda. The numbers are staggering; the methods of killing were unspeakable. Utilizing personal interviews with trauma survivors living in Rwandan cities, towns, and dusty villages, We Cannot Forget relates what happened during this period and what their lives were like both prior to and following the genocide.

Through powerful stories that are at once memorable, disturbing, and informative, readers gain a critical sense of the tensions and violence that preceded the genocide, how it erupted and was carried out, and what these people faced in the first sixteen years following the genocide.
