killed in the small country of Rwanda, located in the Great Lakes region of central Africa. The devastation caused by the genocide is evident in images from genocide memorials: weapons, lye-covered human remains, and rows of skulls. The exhibit \u201cThe Rwanda Genocide: Portraits of Survival and Hope\u201d illustrates the past, but focuses on two populations of survivors: orphans who are heading households of their surviving siblings and widows who are struggling to care for their children\u2014as they grieve their loss. The photographs by Jerry Berndt explore both the pain of the genocide and the current attempts at reconciliation and healing.<\/p>\n<p>USC professor Donald E. Miller and his wife Lorna Touryan Miller began a partnership with an association of orphans (AOCM) after attending an international conference on genocide in Kigali, the capital city of Rwanda. Drawing on their expertise in oral history, they worked with the leadership of this organization to document the members\u2019 experiences of the genocide and their current struggle for survival. One hundred interviews were tape recorded, transcribed, and translated into English. Subsequently, another project was launched with an association of widows (AVEGA) who survived the genocide, and sixty interviews were done. On two different occasions, photojournalist Jerry Berndt joined the Millers to photograph the orphans, genocide memorial sites, and various non-governmental organizations that are working with survivors in Rwanda. In partnership with the California African American Museum, the Center for Religion and Civic Culture created a traveling photo exhibition with selections from Berndt&#8217;s photographs.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Photographs:<\/strong><br \/>\n43 black and white photographs<br \/>\n16&#8243; X 20&#8243; images framed to 20&#8243; X 24&#8243;<\/p>\n<p>Photographs and selections from interviews with orphans appear in a publication, \u201cOrphans of the Rwanda Genocide,\u201d a photo essay produced by the USC Center for Religion and Civic Culture at USC.
