Rwandan Genocide memorial, War memorial in Père Lachaise Cemetery, France.

The Rwandan Genocide memorial is a pale grey stone stele in the 88th division of Père-Lachaise Cemetery, along the allée des Fédérés. It has a rectangular base, two square side pillars and a curved top above a flat central panel. A metal plaque fixed with four round studs bears the French epitaph: "EN 1994 AU RWANDA PLUSIEURS CENTAINES DE MILLIERS DE TUTSI ONT ÉTÉ VICTIMES D'UN GÉNOCIDE" and "CETTE STÈLE EST DÉDIÉE À LEUR MÉMOIRE". It stands in the memorial section near the Shoah memorials.

The memorial was established in 2014 when Paris decided to create a permanent marker for the 1994 genocide victims. This timing reflected a broader effort to recognize this tragedy in European memorial spaces.

The plaque is engraved only in French, not in Kinyarwanda: it states that in 1994 in Rwanda several hundred thousand Tutsi were victims of a genocide, and that the stele is dedicated to their memory. The monument stands in the 88th division, near the alley of the Fédérés, close to the Shoah memorials.

The memorial is accessible during standard cemetery visiting hours and can be found along a marked path near other commemorative stones. A daytime visit works best, as natural light makes the inscription easy to read.

The plaque bears only the French epitaph; no Kinyarwanda word appears on the stone. The memorial stands in the 88th division, along the allée des Fédérés, near the Shoah memorials, and until 2026 Paris commemorations were held around it and at parc de Choisy.
