Interveiw Questions

I am interviewing Bihama Vedaste, a Rwanda Genocide survivor.

1. Where were you born? Whom were you born to?


2. Tell me about your family, both siblings and parents, before the war.


3. How old were you when the events began in April of 1994?


4. How did the propaganda affect you?


5. What did it mean to be from a mixed family (being a mix of Hutu and Tutsi)? How did this affect you before and during the events took place?


6. What was going to school like before, during and after these events?


7. What impacted you the most during this time? How did these events impact you?


8. How do these events still impact you today?


9. How did you end up in the U.S.? How did you end up at NDNU?

Notes for myself:

- Go deeper with Bihama, do not keep it surface, "tell me more about that" to get more from the story.
- Slow down and allow him to speak and do not interrupt, come back to topics if you need to.
- If something is unclear ask to go deeper/further explain.
- Remember to thank him after interview.
