SURVIVOR TESTIMONIES

Beginning in 2004, a goal of the Kigali Memorial Centre was to collect testimonies of survivors of the Rwandan genocide in order to have documentation of survivors' personal experiences, feelings, and reactions associated with the genocide.

Please note that these links are to the first part (sometimes of one, sometimes of two or three parts) of the testimony.
