When Evil Strikes Roots – Death in the Accounts of the Main Characters of Jean Hatzfeld’s Reportages

Anna Pomiankowska-Wronka

Abstract

In death all people are equal – death will affect every individual, regardless of age, gender or social status. Nobody will escape from it. However, sometimes it happens that death is not a natural course of life, but it is a meticulously prepared plan of extermination of one ethnic group by another one. Jean Hatzfeld dedicated four reportages to the Rwanda genocide; they include reports of the genocide victims and their torturers. That evil, which affected more than one million victims, has set its stamp on Rwandans. Death is omnipresent in their memories and it is visible that there is no way to free themselves from it.
