The Anne Frank Project

Welcome back to our new series, Diaries We Missed, where this week we are featuring Immaculée Ilibagiza and the incredible story of how she survived the 1994 Rwandan Genocide.

Her book “Left to Tell” tells the story of how she and seven other women were sent into hiding, spending 91 days in a bathroom together at a local pastors house, only to find out that nearly everyone in her family had been brutally murdered while she hid.

Stories like this one are not only incredibly inspirational but integral to ensuring we never commit these awful atrocities again.

Immaculée Ilibagiza has signed books available on her website, and regular copies available wherever you buy your books.

If you, too, have a diary entry you’d like to share, we’d love to hear from you! Shoot us a DM with your submission ✍🏼
