Over the course of 100 days, an estimated 800,000 people were brutally killed by their neighbors. Today, survivors, bystanders, rescuers, and perpetrators are all searching for ways to live with one another and with their difficult past.<\/p>\n<p>Taylor Krauss, founding director of Voices of Rwanda, will be presenting clips from his filmed testimony \u00a0from survivors of the Rwandan genocide.\u00a0 Krauss founded Voices of Rwanda in 2006 to record and preserve testimonies of Rwandans to ensure that their stories inform the world about genocide and help prevent future human rights atrocities. \u00a0Voices of Rwanda currently has a large film archive of testimony and is working with organizations and schools in Rwanda and the United States to make the testimonies available for education and research, as well as community healing.<\/p>\n<p>To find out more information on Voices of Rwanda please visit:<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.voicesofrwanda.org\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>http:\/\/www.voicesofrwanda.org\/<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/doddcenter.uconn.edu\/events\/VOR_April20.pdf\"><strong>Download the poster for the event<\/strong><\/a> (PDF, 1 MB)<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.ushmm.org\/COC2\/710\/\"><strong>Listen to a podcast with Taylor Krauss <\/strong><\/a>from the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum Voices on Genocide Prevention Podcast from December 17, 2009.<\/p>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Please join the Thomas J.
