点评:My husband and I recently visited rwanda for my 40th birthday. I was 7 years old when the rwandan genocide happened and when we came to kigali we wanted to visit. I had a vague idea what the genocide was but seeing the museum was absolutely heartbreaking. I have visited auschwitz, Cambodia, armenia and others but this one was so incredibly sad, especially the children's area. But to find something uplifting was the school kids visiting with us were so incredibly respectful and also when we saw the first video, it was quite upsetting and a lady who worked there comforted me and said 'its ok'. Thank you for allowing us to visit. I have such respect for a country that has such a sad part to their history but has turned it around for learning and to try and not repeat the same mistakes. If only a lot of world leaders right now could follow their example.
