Abstract	:	The 1994 genocide in Rwanda claimed close to a million lives leaving behind thousands oforphans, widows and a traumatized population. Families that once lived, worked, and prayedtogether turned against each, using machettes, hoes, and sometimes guns. Places of worshipeasily turned into slaughter houses and up to date, some churches and different places of worshipare genocide museums. Tutsi families were particularly targeted although Hutu-Tutsisympathizers were also killed. Rwanda’s challenge today is rebuilding the nation and reunitingpeople once again. The government of Rwanda has focused on allowing Rwandese to tell theirstories of survival and of betrayal. Through testimony sharing, both perpetrators and victimshave re-united and have become neighbors again. This thesis therefore will attempt to discuss therole of memory in uniting the once divided Rwandese.
