In Rwanda in 1994, five out of six Tutsis (800,000) were hacked to
death with machetes by their Hutu neighbours. In the villages of
Nyamata and N'tarama, where, in the first two days of the genocide,
over 10,000 Tutsis were massacred in the churches where they sought
refuge, Jean Hatzfeld interviewed some of the survivors.Of all
ages, coming from different walks of life, from orphan teenage
farmers to the local social worker, fourteen survivors talk of the
genocide, the death of family and friends in the church and in the
marshes of Bugesera to which they fled. They also talk of their
present life and try to explain and understand the reasons behind
the extermination. These horrific accounts of life at the very edge
contrast with Hatzfeld's own sensitive and vivid descriptions of
Rwanda's villages and countryside in peacetime. "Into the Quick of
Life" brings us, in the author's own words, 'as close to (the
event) as we can ever get'. It is a unique insight into a genocide.
