http://www.spiegel.de/international/world/0,1518,704894,00.html (Interview with the president of Rwanda) The reason that this interview was chosen is that the President of Rwanda tells about how even though the genocide happened in 1994, the country is working to change and has gone a long way from where it was 16 years ago. The government is trying to adapt and work to become a functional country, but there are still problems and things aren't completely perfect yet.

[] (Interview with a Rwandan Genocide surviver) This interview with a survivor from the Rwandan genocide describes the horror and challenges that she had to go through when she was targeted during the genocide. The interview also explains that Rwanda has changed since the time of the genocide, but still needs work. It explains that people are holding onto the genocide, and that it is not completely in the past, and it wont be buried away and forgotten. This is shows that Rwanda is like other countries, like the United States and slavery, and Germany and the holocaust. They are not going to try and "get rid" of the past, but try to make up for the damage that had happened.

Artifact 1 This picture shows that people were extremely injured and that the genocide will always be remembered, but that there are surviors to tell their story about what happened.

Artifact 2 This picture was chosen to show that the people of Rwanda, and all around the world will not let the Rwandan genocide happen again, and that we will all stand up together and stop anyone from trying to do it again.

[|Artifact 3] This website was created to help the effected families and to tell the story of the genocide and to inform people what these people went through, which shows that people want to help each other and can tolerate the other cultures around the world.
