In this book, How I Survived the Genocide Against the Tutsi: My Long Journey to German Darkness and Back, we face the terrible conditions in which the Tutsis lived for nearly thirty years, whether they were those who fled Rwanda in the late fifties or those who remained in the country. Its about the massive persecutions, the anxieties, the fear of being killed, then, for the author, the flight to Germany. But the arrival in this country also brought its share of difficulties: bureaucracy, racism, and isolation in homes of asylum seekers. Then begins another daily fight for survival. The author struggles not to abandon himself. He also discovers the goodwill of some Germans who help him not to sink into depression. Finally, after almost eight years of waiting without being granted the coveted political refugee status, he will finally withdraw his asylum application and return to his country after the genocide that decimated more than one million Tutsi in a hundred days, in order to participate in its reconstruction. It is a topical and shocking testimony.
