For the next 91 days, Immaculée and the other women huddled silently in this small room, while the genocide raged outside the home and throughout the country. The pastor quickly sheltered Immaculée and seven other women in a hidden 3 x 4 foot bathroom. To protect his only daughter from rape and murder, Immaculée’s father told her to run to a local pastor’s house for protection.
