The Nyamata Genocide Memorial, a solemn site commemorating the 1994 Rwandan genocide, is a heavy reminder that 50,000 people were murdered here. Thousands of Tutsi had gathered in the former church, only to be slaughtered by attackers who made holes in the walls to throw in grenades. While the memorial is now a World Heritage Site, the persistent bureaucracy surrounding the six national genocide memorials in Rwanda is a headache. This city is not for the faint of heart.
