This book gives testimonies of the exemplary life and death of Sister Felicitas Niyitegeka, the director of the Centre Saint-Pierre in Gisenyi, Rwanda. During the 1994 Genocide, she helped many Tutsi to escape by giving them shelter and helping to cross the border to Congo. Finally, when the militia arrived at her institute to kill all who had sought refuge, she voluntarily joined them into death, albeit having the choice - as a hutu and sister of an army colonel - to stay alive.
