The 1994 massacre in Rwanda remains unimaginable 15 years later. And those 100 days of violence continue to echo through time, with equally unimaginable ramifications. Photographer Jonathan Torgovnik has documented one of them in a terribly affecting project on the mother-daughter relationships that grew up out of systemic rape. In 2006, he began a three-year project photographing and interviewing women who had children after being raped, and has now collected the images in a book, Intended Consequences: Rwandan Children Born of Rape. MOTHER JONES has a gallery of images from the book, along with gut-wrenching commentary from the mothers, such as this one:

It defies commentary. But the collection is a must-see.
