This is the second part of the conversation that we had with Claver Irakoze. 

When Claver's daughter was five, she asked him what the word 'Genocide' meant. Her grandmother told them that she was going for (kwibuka) the commemoration of the Genocide Against the Tutsi. At that moment, he knew that he had to find ways to explain these terrible events to children.  He says that every person who has witnessed the genocide against the Tutsi has the responsibility to speak up and teach the next generation.
