Do you know real history? More people have been killed in the name of Jesus than any other religion. But this history is withheld but it is available in plain sight. One happened a mere 20 years ago. Kigali Memorial Center is more than a museum. 250,000 bodies are buried here. The Memorial Grove is also a garden. Roses have been planted on the graves, and there is also a possibility for relatives to leave flowers here. Its only been twenty years since the genocide. The Roman Catholic Church and its role is on permanent exhibition of the museum. Many Rwandan Christians fled to churches during the genocide. But the churches turned out to be far from the safe place one could have wished them to be. Inside the Church of Nyarubuye in Kibungu, 20,000 people were killed. Priests were caught- and had collaborated with the Hutu extremists responsible for the killings. This was the case with the Catholic church of St. Famille in Kigali. Here, Father Wenceslas collaborated with militia groups.
