Every war, every genocide, eventually ends. In the aftermath, survivors, perpetrators, and bystanders must find a way to live together again—even as fear and distrust linger. In Rwanda, healing has been ongoing since the 1994 genocide against the Tutsi. A local method called Mvura Nkuvure—"I heal you, you heal me"—brings victims and perpetrators face to face in a process of reconciliation. The results are often nothing short of miraculous. Through words and images, Jan Banning and Dick Wittenberg document these unlikely bonds: former enemies who now live as neighbors, friends—even family. Slowly, they say, they have become human again. Philosopher Marjan Slob contributes an essay on forgiveness.
