Just when I think my life is tough…
Posted by lev2000 on September 23, 2008
Last night I was lucky enough to hear a speaker at Viterbo University.
Immaculee is her name.
She is a survivor of the 1994 Rawandan genocide, also known as a modern day holocaust.
Immaculee spent 91 days in a 3X4 bathroom with seven other women as she was hiding from her killers. She was being hunted because of the culture she was born into. I can’t help but recall what is known today as the Holocaust and the daunting similarities these two horrific events share.
Watch the video and tell me what you think. It’s hard to complain about my own problems and struggles when I remember what she shared about the time she was hunted.

I have to agree, listening to her speak made me open my eyes a little bit more. I feel I am a pretty forgiving person but I am not in the same leauge as her. Life here in Sparta WI is pretty good…even when it is at it’s worst.
Have a GREAT day.
