Rwandan Genocide memorial, War memorial in Père Lachaise Cemetery, France.
The stone memorial features an epitaph recalling hundreds of thousands of Tutsi victims during the 1994 Rwanda genocide.
The memorial was established on October 31, 2014, following a decision by the Paris City Council to create a permanent remembrance site.
The monument stands near Holocaust memorials in the 88th division of Père Lachaise Cemetery, along the Fédérés alley.
Annual commemoration ceremonies take place at the memorial every April 7, gathering officials, survivors, and community members.
The memorial inscription carries the word 'Kwibuka', meaning 'remember' in Kinyarwanda, connecting Paris to Rwanda through shared memory.
