The Kigali Genocide Memorial is a memorial site in Kigali, Rwanda, dedicated to the victims of the 1994 genocide, in which an estimated 800,000 people—mainly Tutsis—were murdered by extremist Hutu militias. The museum serves both as a place of remembrance and an educational center. More than 250,000 victims are buried there, and the exhibits highlight the events leading up to the genocide, the atrocities themselves, and the aftermath. There are also sections dedicated to other genocides around the world. The memorial plays a crucial role in Rwanda’s process of healing and reconciliation. The exhibition is a very hard watch. The photos you get to see inside, the voices you get to hear telling their stories, and the way they recount their experiences—it’s heavy, to say the least.
