Kigali Memorial Center

Well today me and Michelle spent the greater part of the day at the kigali memorial center. It is an entire museum devoted to information on the Rwandan Genocide. It was definitely the most powerful museum I have ever visited. The war museum in Ottawa is an amazing building but I think simply the topic of the genocide is just so powerful. The exhibits have many movies and interviews and stories. Both me and Michelle found ourselves in tears at quite a few times throughout the day. The stories of the people who let people seek refuge in their houses was most powerful for me.

anyways an interesting day.... learned alot!
