The Key to My Neighbour's House: Searching for Justice in Bosnia and Rwanda - Hardcover

From her unique vantage point as a reporter directly covering the reality and aftermath of genocide in Bosnia and Rwanda, award-winning journalist Elizabeth Neuffer tells the compelling story of two parallel journeys toward justice in each country - that of the international war crime tribunals, and that of the people left behind. In a book packed with devastating stories, including those of victims and perpetrators, forensic experts and tribunal judges, two provide the double backbone of the book's narrative: Hasan Nuhanovic, a Bosnian muslim whose determination to discover the fate of his family lost at Srebrenica, sees him mature over the years from a gangling youth to a man with the authority to testify before Congress; and, Witness JJ, a Tutsi woman of staggering courage who overcomes her modesty and the dictates of her culture to testify about the rapes that are classified as war crimes.

Elizabeth Neuffer won the Courage in Journalism award and was an Edward R. Murrow Fellow of the Council on Foreign Relations. She is currently a reporter for The Boston Globe and lives in New York City.
