Luke 5

In 1994, Rwanda experienced an awful genocide much like the Holocaust. The accused people were a minority, killings were brutal, and it happened in an unstable environment. The Tutsi and Jews both only make up a small part of their populations. In Rwanda, people were beaten to death or shot in the streets and in Europe, concentration camps “exterminated” prisoners by the thousands in gas chambers and other facilities. The Holocaust took place in war-torn Europe, which was definitely an unstable environment. The Rwandan genocide also took place in complete chaos, with people trying to evade pursuers, seek refuge, and hide. History can definitely repeat itself.
