Publisher Description
Introduction Victims play a crucial but ambivalent role in genocide trials: their testimony can contribute to the prosecution of indicted war criminals, but the price they pay is that of 'reliving' the genocide attack. As every detail could be crucial for sentencing war criminals, the victims must delve into difficult histories and answer confronting questions such as 'how were you attacked?', 'what injuries have you suffered?' and 'how was your family killed?' Victims can only answer these questions by metaphorically reliving the moment of attack.
