"For me, the most remarkable thing was to see the sorts of things that people in the graves had in their pockets and on their clothes; the things that they had chosen to take with them when they left their homes. And I saw very clearly that in Rwanda as well as in the former Yugoslavia, judging from how people brought the deeds to their houses or the baptismal cards of the children or important papers from home. I saw this in both places, the way they believed that they would be able to start life again somewhere else or that eventually they would get back to their homes - which might have been burnt down that's why they brought the important papers with them so they wouldn't get burnt - the sense that they would survive."
