In this firsthand account of inexplicable brutality, day-to-day suffering, and survival, Marie Beatrice Umutesi sheds light on "the other genocide" that targeted the Hutu refugees of Rwanda after the victory of the Rwandan Patriotic Front in 1994. Umutesi's documentation of these years provides the world a history that is still widely unknown. Available in English for the first time, this poignant autobiography is more than a testimony to the lives and humanity lost; it is a call for those responsible for the atrocious crimes--and the devastating silence--to be held accountable.

Marie Béatrice Umutesi was born in Byumba, Rwanda. Umutesi worked with women's associations in Byumba until she fled to Zaire in 1994. She is currently working on rural development projects in Cameroon.
