Sketch for paintings of the genocide in Rwanda represented as a large Falla

The Kigali government and the British human rights group Aegis Trust created the first archive on the extermination of Tutsies and moderate Hutus which claimed 800,000 lives in Spring 1994 in Rwanda.

The archive is in Kigali and collects thousands documents, photographs and audiovisual recordings gathered from survivors, witnesses and perpetrators of the genocide. This material was partly published also in the archive Website.

In Rwanda there are already many upsetting memorials, such as the one at the Nyamata church, but the archive represents a new way to face the past, with many possibile teaching developments for the Country's younger generations. The landscape could always change, the monuments could be destroyed, but this archive will make it possible to genocide testimony to be kept forever.
