Kigali genocide memorial site
The Kigali Genocide Memorial Site is a memorial and museum located in Kigali, the capital city of Rwanda. The site was established to commemorate the victims of the 1994 Rwandan genocide, in which an estimated 800,000 Tutsi and moderate Hutu people were killed over a period of 100 days.
The memorial site includes a number of exhibits and displays that tell the story of the genocide and its aftermath. The exhibits include photographs, videos, and personal accounts of survivors and victims. The memorial site also includes a mass grave where over 250,000 victims of the genocide are buried.
In addition to serving as a place of remembrance, the Kigali Genocide Memorial Site also serves as a center for education and reconciliation. The site offers educational programs for students and the public and hosts events and discussions aimed at promoting healing, understanding, and unity in Rwanda.
The Kigali Genocide Memorial Site is an important symbol of the resilience of the Rwandan people in the face of tragedy, and a powerful reminder of the importance of working to prevent genocide and other forms of mass violence in the future.
