点评:We walked up to the Parliament complex around 2 PM on a cloudy Tuesday, handed our passports over at the security gate, and paid the $15 fee. What really floored me was standing out on the rear terrace looking right up at the preserved shrapnel damage on the wall while our guide explained how the 600 soldiers held their positions inside this exact hall. You can actually see the heavy mortar scars right in the pink brick, and hearing the day by day radio communications play out while looking at the exact spots where troops were pinned down felt completely surreal. The guide had an answer for every single question about the rescue routes down toward Amahoro stadium, pointing out the hills across the valley where the artillery was set up. It was a very unique perspective on how the genocide was stopped that you just do not get from reading plaques. I definately recommend pairing this right after the main memorial downtown.
翻译:在一个阴天的周二下午2点左右,我们走到议会大厦前,在安检处交出了护照并支付了15美元的费用。最令我震撼的是,当导游讲解着600名士兵是如何在这座大厅内坚守阵地时,我站在后方的露台上抬头望去,看到了墙面上那些保存完好的弹片痕迹。那些密集的迫击炮弹痕清晰地留在粉红色的砖墙上,清晰可见。看着士兵们被困的具体位置,同时听到每日的无线电通讯内容,这种感觉简直如梦似幻。对于关于前往阿马霍罗体育场的救援路线的各种问题,导游都能给出解答,还能指出山谷对面架设火炮的山丘。这种视角能让人以非常独特的方式了解大屠杀是如何被制止的,这是光看解说牌绝对无法获得的体验。我绝对推荐在参观完市中心的主体纪念堂后紧接着来这里。
