The Nyamata Genocide Memorial is a national memorial and World Heritage Site in Rwanda commemorating the 1994 Rwandan genocide against the Tutsi ethnic group.

It is based around a former church in the town of Nyamata, roughly 30 km (19 mi) south of the capital of Kigali, where thousands of Tutsi were killed.

[1][3] It is one of six national memorial sites in Rwanda that commemorate the genocide.

Many Tutsi people gathered in churches, which were considered safe places.

[1] In 2023, the memorials at Nyamata and three other locations were officially made World Heritage Sites by UNESCO.
