Murambi genocide memorial set on the grounds of former Murambi technical school near Murambi town and is by far the most difficult memorial to visit because of the bodies and skeletons of genocide victims on display. One can almost recognize and identify a survivor if indeed they were a relative or friend. Tutsi were advised to hide in the technical school with pretext that French soldiers would protect them but alas, it was a trap. After gathering there, they had no food and were attacked by the militia. The site has several mass graves with former classrooms acting as exhibition rooms.

Bisesero genocide memorial,This memorial is composed of nine small buildings which represent the nine communes that formerly made up the province of Kibuye. Bisesero is set in the hills of the Kibuye in Karongi district capital province of West Rwanda where an estimation of 30,000 people were killed. The region around Bisesero has become known for the acts of resistance from Tutsi who tried to organise themselves against the massacre. This was mostly unsuccessful as they were fighting with sticks against well-armed and trained soldiers. Ntarama genocide memorial contains human clothing’s, remains and artifacts which belong to those who were killed at the church, these items have remained at display all times. During the Genocide, the Tutsi persecuted much of the population who sought sanctuary in the catholic churches believing that they would be protected and safe there which wasn’t the case.5000 people were massacred. Nyarubuye genocide memorial,its One of the more remote of the National Genocide Memorials of Rwanda. Refugees from the genocide gathered here in the massive church and adjacent convent but in just 2-3 days in mid April 1994 almost all of the 20,000 were butchered. It was one the starkest sites of death in Rwanda – now it is a fairly neatly maintained, dignified memorial and the church is back in use.
