Introduction of Left to Tell

The introduction of Left to Tell by Immaculee Ilibagiza is very sad. In one page Immaculee tells her traumatizing story of how she and thousands of people suffered in the Rwanda genocide. The way she survived was being in a small restroom with 7 other women for 91 days. I can’t imagine being in a room with some strangers and not being able to stretch my legs when they get numb. What Immaculee did for 91 days was just pray to God to save her family and her. God was her only hope, and this genocide brought her closer to god. It was sad the part where she said that even her neighbors and the people that would go have dinner at her house were in the extremist’s side. These people were such hypocrites, turning your back to the people that would help you out and give you advise when you needed the most is just horrible.  I find it unbelievable that Immaculee was able to forgive the people that harmed her and her family. I wouldn’t be able to forgive them if I was Immaculee. She is a very strong woman, and she has a great heart.
