"The refugees managed to protect themselves from swarms of killers for a couple of days, until April 21, at 3 am, when gendarmes started throwing grenades and shooting at them. Interahamwe and other militia together with their supporters carrying clubs, machetes, spears, and axes started to finish off those who were not killed by bullets.
More than 50,000 Tutsi were killed that morning.
Only a few, suspected to be around 34, survived.On the walls of the main building are photos, testimonies, and quotes. One of the most unforgettable quotes was that of Felicien Ntabengwa: "If you knew me, and if you really knew yourself, you would not have killed me."
