Megaconference

["Haas, John" <>]

Dear All,

You are cordially invited. The livestream link is below!

Dr. John Haas, History Professor and Director of the Global Consortium for Sustainable Peace will interview Immaculée Ilibagiza live from New York City on June 6, 2013 from 10a.m. to 11:00a.m.(EST)

 

“Immaculee Ilibagiza was at home for Easter with her family when Hutu death squads began a three month killing spree of more than a million Tutsis across the nation. Immaculee's entire family was murdered, but she managed to find a hiding place in the packed 3 foot by 4 foot (1m by 1.3 m) bathroom of a local pastor, along with seven other women. She and the others spent 91 days there, entering at 115 pounds and emerging at 68. However, she found life in the dark, building an undaunted relationship with God and learning English using only a bible and a dictionary. She began to realize the power of an unconditional love so powerful that it might forgive her family's killers. In the wake of the horrors, she joined the United Nations and moved to New York four years later. She recorded her amazing story in the 2006 memoir Left to Tell: Discovering God Amidst the Rwandan Holocaust, a New York Times Best Seller and an account of the power of faith in the most unlikely circumstances.”
