About this listen

War is loud. But what happens when it goes quiet?

I Saw the Silence is a haunting and hopeful memoir from humanitarian storyteller Paolo Sebastiano Sivillica. Set in the heart of the Democratic Republic of Congo, this book chronicles Paolo’s journey as a witness not to bullets or explosions, but to what comes after: trauma, silence, and survival.

Through deeply personal reflections and composite stories of survivors, the memoir explores invisible wounds left by decades of conflict. From child soldiers and grieving mothers to therapy circles in the dust and art drawn with broken crayons, this is a journey into the emotional ruins where resilience is quietly rebuilding.

I Saw the Silence is a call to listen and a reminder that healing begins the moment we do.
