100 Days to Inspire Respect

Julienne, a Rwandan Tutsi survivor, tried to seek shelter in her uncle's home during the genocide, but he threw her out of the house out of fear that she would be discovered and they would both be killed.

The Challenge, which will award $10,000 total in prizes, invites and encourages students to participate in their communities and complete an IWitness activity by submitting a short explainer video detailing how they were inspired through testimony to make a positive impact.

Four of USC Shoah Foundation Center for Advanced Genocide Research’s summer 2016 research fellows returned to the Institute on Tuesday, April 4, to share the outcomes of their fellowships and the impact of testimony on their work.

All the fellows are studying or teaching at USC and spent at least several weeks in residence at the Center last summer to conduct research in the Visual History Archive.

100 Days to Inspire Respect
