Memorial sites of the Genocide: Nyamata, Murambi, Gisozi and Bisesero
Between April and July 1994, an estimated one million people were killed across Rwanda by armed militias called Interahamwe that targeted Tutsi, but also executed moderate Hutu and Twa people. The victims of the genocide are commemorated in this serial property composed of four memorial sites. Two of the component parts were scenes of massacres: a Catholic church built in the hill of Nyamata in 1980, and a technical school built in the hill of Murambi in 1990. The hill of Gisozi in Kigali City hosts the Kigali Genocide Memorial built in 1999, where more than 250,000 victims have been buried, while the hill of Bisesero in the Western Province hosts a memorial built in 1998, to remember the fight of those who resisted their perpetrators for over two months before being exterminated.
种族大屠杀纪念地：恩亚玛塔、穆拉姆比、吉索兹和比瑟瑟罗
1994年4-7月间，卢旺达各地估计有百万人被联攻派（Interahamwe）武装民兵杀害，其攻击目标是图西族，但胡图族温和派和特瓦族亦未幸免。该系列遗产是为了纪念种族大屠杀的受害者，包括4处纪念地。其中2处是屠杀现场：恩亚玛塔（Nyamata）山上建于1980年的天主教堂、穆拉姆比（Murambi）山上建于1990年的技术学校。基加利市的吉索兹（Gisozi）山上有建于1999年的基加利种族大屠杀纪念碑，那里埋葬着超过25万名遇难者；西部省的比瑟瑟罗（Bisesero）山上有建于1998年的纪念碑，纪念受害者抵抗屠戮者达2个多月的战斗。
