(NEWS) South African Museum To Juxtapose Holocaust With Rwandan Genocide

"CAPE TOWN, South Africa (JTA) -- At a South African Holocaust museum that plans to open late next year in Johannesburg, the Holocaust will be featured beside a more local genocide: the Rwandan violence of 1994.

The inclusion of the African mass murder is not a mere gesture toward political correctness in what will be the third Holocaust museum in Africa. Rather it will be an integral part of the planned Johannesburg Holocaust and Genocide Centre.

'The Rwandan section is a prominent part of the permanent exhibition, not an afterthought,' said center director Tali Nates. 'It will be a shared museum.'"
