Abstract
I was a person who could not talk to anyone in my village and at school. My life was very bitter. I always had worries about my mother. I was forced to be always near her.” (Marie, daughter of a widowed genocide survivor) “Even if my father was a killer, I’m not. Why to be considered like my father, while in 1994 I was 4 years old?” (Jean, son of a father imprisoned for genocide crimes)
