Gen. Rom\u00e9o Dallaire has seen.\u00a0 In Samantha Power&#8217;s introduction to General Dallaire\u2019s book, <em>Shake Hands with the Devil: The Failure of Humanity in Rwanda<\/em>, she writes that when she learned of Dallaire\u2019s experiences in Rwanda, she recalled Moshe the Beadle in Elie Wiesel\u2019s memoir, <em>Night<\/em>. Moshe was among the first Jews to be deported from Sighet.\u00a0 He miraculously survived a massacre and returned to Sighet to warn his fellow Jews to flee while there was still time.\u00a0 None of them listened, or rather, they listened, but found his words too horrific to be believed or acted upon.<\/p>\n<p>Like Moshe, so too did General Dallaire warn the world of impending genocide.\u00a0 \u00a0He pleaded with his UN superiors in New York for permission to seize the arms caches his informant had identified before they could be used. His request was denied, and he was told to stick to his job. \u00a0Once the genocide began, he was ordered to leave the country.\u00a0 Although most of the UN force under his command did just that, General Dallaire, along with some 400 Ghanaian soldiers and military observers, disobeyed the order and risked their lives to protect the more than 30,000 peoples in their care.\u00a0 For nearly 100 days, he witnessed people brutally hacked to death with machetes, women raped, children killing other children.\u00a0 As Power writes, arriving as a protector, he left as a witness, with the deaths of 10 Belgian soldiers and 800,000 Rwandans on his conscience.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.chapman.edu\/holocaust-education\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/69\/2017\/10\/Book-Cover-3.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-784\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-784 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.chapman.edu\/holocaust-education\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/69\/2017\/10\/Book-Cover-3.jpg\" alt=\"Cover for Romeo Dallaire's book &quot;Waiting for First light&quot; with a dark landscape with a sun setting behind a range of hills\" width=\"146\" height=\"212\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.chapman.edu\/holocaust-education\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/69\/2017\/10\/Book-Cover-3.jpg 345w, https:\/\/blogs.chapman.edu\/holocaust-education\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/69\/2017\/10\/Book-Cover-3-207x300.jpg 207w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 146px) 100vw, 146px\" \/><\/a>Once back in Canada, Dallaire threw himself into his work, but life as he had known it was beyond his grasp.\u00a0 Like Elie Wiesel, he was haunted by what he had seen.
