Never Forget

Look at my skull

Skulls of children, women and men killed from the beginning of the genocide in Rwanda, Africa, up until now, are subject of exposure. Thousands of people from around the world come every year to witness the cruel reality, the worst act of terrorism against human being ever committed.

The brightness of the building and the garden around it contrast with the story behind the walls. Nothing can prepare for what is exhibited inside the museum. Interring through the doors, people witness rooms filled with human bones, piles of small skulls and femurs, machetes and knives used to kill, and video of rape and slaughter committed during the time.For people to avoid the atrocity of the 1994 genocide in Rwanda, the Memorial Centre was created. On April 7^th, 2004, for the 10^th anniversary of the genocide in Kigali City, Rwanda, a museum was inaugurated.  Available in three languages, Kinyarwanda—Rwandese dialect—French, and English, the exposure is divided into three main parts relating to the escalate history which led to the 100 days of intensive massacre. The first and largest part of the exhibition is documents, such as pictures of victims and their clothes, the second part is a children’s memorial and finally there is the history of the genocidal violence around the world. This place of remembrance is also the grave of over 250,000 victims. The memorial is a sign of hope for future generations; they shouldn't do the same mistakes as their parents.
