    Hotel des Mille Collines: Rwandan Genocide Shelter & Legacy

    The Hotel des Mille Collines in Kigali, Rwanda, became a critical shelter for 1,248 people during the 1994 Rwandan Genocide. Manager Paul Rusesabagina is credited with protecting refugees, though his motives remain debated. The hotel still operates today, and its story was dramatized in the film "Hotel Rwanda."
