The genocide that i read was the Rwanda genocide that happened in Africa. 800,000 Rwandans were killed in a years time. It all started with the death of their president Juvenal Habyarimana who was killed when his plane was shot down above Kigali airport on 6 April 1994. In Kigali, the presidential guard immediately initiated a campaign of retribution. Leaders of the political opposition were murdered, and almost immediately, the slaughter of Tutsis and moderate Hutus began. It was also said that the bodies of the people they killed were thrown in to rivers. I haven't researched many genocides but this one has to be one of the worst because Africa already has a lot of problems and they didn't need this. Even if this occurred in 1994 it was still was one of the worst that i have read about.

The thing that struck me the most was the amount of deaths in Auswitch alone. What also surprised me was the amount of people the put in each camp. What i would like to know more about is the life inside the camp so people can have a better understanding of life inside the camps and how brutal they were. The things i didn't know was the guards could kill the people without any reason. I also didn't know that the people in the camps had to share a bed with two other people. I am excited to read the book night because i can learn more about the life inside the concentration camps. I anticipate that the novel will be graphic and brutal but a great story. I think he will talk about everything that he had to endure in the camps.

Intro blog

I do like to read books all the time. The type books i like to read is adventure. My favorite books are Rangers Apprentice and The Percy Jackson series. My least favorite book is Hello Kitty Adventures. The book that i am reading right now is The Mark of Athena by Rick Riordan. It is about seven demigods finding away to not have Gaia rise and destroy everyone. The thing i found interesting about the book is that it tells you who the Greek and Roman god are.
