This year marks the 30th anniversary of the Genocide against the Tutsi in Rwanda. To commemorate the 1 million people who fell victim to this calamity, Ass.-Prof. Dr. Rémi Tchokothe has created the course Rwanda 1994: Humanity’s Collective Memory(cide) 30 Years Later, which has given us students an insight into the literary production arising from this collective trauma. We, the students have created an exhibition that presents The Genocide Against the Tutsi in Rwanda within the framework of the eight stages of genocide, as theorized by Gregory Stanton. We hope to disseminate and further an understanding of this process, and help the visitors recognise the early warning signs of this both reprehensible and universal phenomenon, which is sadly not unique to any time or place in the world.
