The Rwandan Genocide (4/94 - 7/94)

This week we'll look at people who tried to save lives during the Rwandan genocide of 1994, in which at least 800,000 lives were massacred in about three months.  They probably don't think of themselves as heroes; people who see such atrocities rarely do.  They are often haunted afterwards by all the lives they didn't save.  But for those whose lives are owed to them, they are heroes.
