Tutsi Survivor Kizito Kalima | 1994 Genocide Against the Tutsi in Rwanda | USC Shoah Foundation

October 1 marks the day in 1990 that Rwandan Patriotic Front troops crossed into Rwanda from neighboring Uganda, and the beginning of a sequence of events that culminated in the 1994 Genocide Against the Tutsi (which claimed as many as 1 million lives over the course of approximately 100 days).

USC Shoah Foundation’s Rwanda Archive and Education Program, a landmark initiative in partnership with Aegis Trust and the Kigali Genocide Memorial, has been at the forefront of recording and preserving testimonies related to the genocide. The Institute’s Visual History Archive now contains 121 indexed and searchable interviews of Tutsi survivors, including Kizito. To explore these testimonies, please visit https://vha.usc.edu/biosearch/bioSearch (free account registration required).
