Graphic Evidence
A Visual History of the Rwandan Genocide and the Holocaust
Viewer Discretion Advised
This page contains graphic photographs that document the atrocities of the Rwandan Genocide and the Holocaust. These images include depictions of mass violence, destroyed communities, and the suffering endured by victims, including women and children. While these photos are essential for understanding the full scale and brutality of these events, they may be disturbing to some viewers.
If you feel uncomfortable viewing these images, I encourage you to explore other sections of the site that provide detailed narratives without the visual aspects.
Why These Photos Are Included
Photographs are powerful tools for documenting and understanding history. They capture the raw reality of genocide and serve as evidence of the crimes committed. These images are included not to sensationalize suffering, but to bear witness to the human impact of genocide and to honor the victims and survivors whose lives were forever changed. I chose to include these images to not underrepresent or diminish the atrocities that some victims were subjected to during these genocides. I personally find them integral to completely and holistically understanding the extent to which these genocides and their perpetrators went to in order to maintain control, establish dominance, and to break down a society and its members.
