INTRODUCTION
“Within one hundred days, more than a million Tutsi were horribly massacred by their compatriots on behalf of Hutu. This period marked an enormous ru pture in the history of the social tissue and sunk Rwanda deeper into a whirlpool that no one can look at without shaking.
The facts that lead to the genocide were based on a racist ideology that considered Tutsi people to be Hutus‟ oppressors for generations, so they needed to be got rid of definitively. This ideology has its origins from racist theories that were already in fashion in western countries by the middle of the 19
the century and the beginning of the 20th
century. The same theories were the cause of anti-Semitism during the Third Reich, which ended in the Shoah.
