CRITICAL
ISSUES
 Witness to Genocide: The Children of Rwanda; Drawings by Child Survivors of the
Rwandan Genocide of 1994;
Edited by
Richard A. Salem
Foreword by Hillary Rodham Clinton
“The loss of tens of thousands of children was
not a byproduct of the genocide that gripped Rwanda for 100 days in 1994.
It was an integral part of the Hutu government’s plan to exterminate the
Tutsi population. Other books have described in painful detail how this
holocaust claimed 800,000 lives and created 300,000 orphans, while the rest
of the world looked the other way. Witness to Genocide: The
Children of Rwanda tells the story through the eyes of the child
survivors. 48pp. $19.95; ISBN 0-377-00330-1
