Paul Rusesabagina is a Rwandan man who has been critically acclaimed for saving 1,268 refugees during the Rwandan Genocide. He was the assistant manager of the Sabena Hôtel des Mille Collines before he became the manager of the Hôtel des Diplomates, both in Kigali, Rwanda. During the 1994 Rwandan genocide, Rusesabagina used his influence and connections as temporary manager of the 'Mille Collines' to shelter 1,268 Tutsis and moderate Hutus from being slaughtered by the Interahamwe militia. This was an extreme display of selflessness on his part due to the danger he put himself by sheltering Tutsis who were being hunted and killed.
