Immaculée is a survivor of the 1994 Rwandan genocide, which claimed the lives of most of her family and friends. She is regarded as one of the world’s leading speakers on peace, faith and forgiveness. Immaculée’s life was transformed dramatically when she and seven other women spent 91 days huddled silently together in the cramped bathroom of a local pastor’s house. She credits her salvage mostly to prayer and to a set of rosary beads given to her by her father prior to going into hiding. |
Immaculée found solace in prayer and eventually found it possible and imperative, to forgive her tormentors and her family’s murderers. Immaculée’s first book, Left to Tell: Discovering God Amidst the Rwandan Holocaust was released in March of 2006. Left to Tell quickly became a New York Times Best Seller and has been translated into fifteen languages worldwide. She has appeared in numerous media including 60 Minutes, CNN, EWTN, The Aljazeera Network, The New York Times, USA Today and Newsday. ![]() To learn more about Immaculée visit her website at: http://www.immaculee.com/
