This museum was amazing! Even the front courtyard had so many symbolic things in it! We had lunch at the cafe here and for a small cafe the food was amazing. I got a salad and strawberry smoothie and I thoroughly enjoyed them. I went pretty quickly through the holocaust part because we had all been to the holocaust museum in NYC. Before we came to this museum I knew absolutely nothing about the Rwandan Genocide Acts.
I was shocked at the brutality and how people were killed in such violent ways. One fact that I thought about a lot was how people believed you can’t hurt someone in a church and you can’t be violent in a church. So they would all go to the churches only to be massacred and left.
The museum made me think, how can anyone be that hurtful to another human? We are all humans, right? It feels like the people like Hitler and the people who ran apartheid were maybe crazy to even think about wiping out a whole race of people or controlling and hurting people based on their skin color. I would highly recommend this museum and I would go again if I could.
