Summary of Philip Gourevitch's We Wish to Inform You That Tomorrow We Will Be Killed with Our Families

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:

#1 I went to Nyarubuye in Rwanda to see the church where many Tutsis were murdered in April of 1994. The bodies had not been moved, and they looked like pictures of the dead. I did not need to see them to know what happened in Rwanda.

#2 The butchery of the cow was hard work, but the butchery of people is different. It must be done for a new order, and the people must want it so badly that they consider it a necessity.

#3 I was able to see what I was seeing, and I took photographs to remember it. I was unable to find any meaning in the beauty of the dead bodies, and I was simply disturbed by the sight.

#4 Rwanda is a beautiful country, but it was the site of a genocide in 1994. The country was empty except for some rural areas in the south, where the desertion of Hutus had left nothing but bush to reclaim the fields around crumbling adobe houses.
