Reviews of Holocaust & Intolerance Museum of New Mexico (Museum)

Michael Romero

This is a very small museum but it is very moving. I am a teacher and I brought all my students here and they really loved the eye opening exhibits.

I have been trying to go to this museum for literally months. The volunteers there are dedicated and knowledgeable. I found it to be extremely valuable of my time and intellect to go and experience this Museum. I will be bringing others

Worth going. It is small, & doing the best it can with little funding. I recommend going & giving a donation.

Striking imagery and collection of artifacts from holocaust and other world events arising from hatred and intolerance. Well worth the visit and donation to this free museum.

Timothy Martinez

Very amazing place. So much information and history. Staff are really involved and have so much knowledge. Leaving here without being affect and touched is impossible. Staff does an amazing job in every aspect.

One of the saddest but historically important places to visit

Faustina Castillo

Very informative!

Tracie Norton

This was a very informative, eye opening place. If your in the area, this would definitely be a stop worth making. Thank you ladies for answering all our questions.

Rene Petties-Jones

Very educational and informative. Staff willing to answer questions and ate friendly. Need to allow time to take in and process all the history but it's worth it. Little children may be slightly disturbed by some of the information

Ken Deatrick

Small bit interesting place.

Rena Kilgore

This is an amazing collection of artifacts and photographs. It's haunting to realize that people are capable of such horrible things. It's very small and parking is either street side with meters or in a pay parking lot. Fortunately the parking lot is only $1. The wonderful gentleman that greeted us was so nice and very knowledgeable. Don't be afraid to ask questions of him. Everyone should wander though this museum. If we don't learn from the past we are descended to repeat it

We enjoyed coming to this Museum but it was heavy on my heart even though I’m not Jewish it was part of our history and it hurts me that being human and from another nationality was a crime. Sad that racism still exist to this day, this was an educating experience to come to the museum . It is located downtown I’m guessing their old downtown I will say there are homeless people you know your usual. I would recommend visiting this place and please donate money to this great cause.

Rhonda Rain

This is a remarkable and important museum, promoting historical facts not often heard of, and a very illuminating experience! I plan to revisit soon as I arrived a short time before closing. I highly recommend this unique museum to everyone. Love is stronger than hate. I was moved by my experience. It has stayed with me and will for the rest of my life.

Fantastic museum. Very sobering. I am glad that a place like this exists to educate folks on harsh historical and present realities.

Michelle Chavez

Very polite and knowledgeable staff.

Fun place to visit

Melissa Alexander

This museum which has no admission charge but gladly accepts donations is a gem in Albuquerque not to be missed. It has many exhibits on the Holocaust but also on other genocides and violence such as slavery, native Americans and the LGBTQ community. It additionally contains materials and exhibits on propaganda and on ways to be an upstander instead of a bystander.

Jason Young

This is a great museum and it's free

mollie papen

One of the best kept secrets in Albuquerque. Very knowledgeable people. I would go again and take friends thank you

Christin Moreland

It's not the Holocaust Museum of D.C., and it's surprising to see in Albuquerque, but they have unique items displayed. It's not just about the Nazi Holocaust of WWII, but also has exhibits on other acts of genocide and intolerance. The knowlegable docents are always happy to give tours, especially to schools and religious groups, but prefer a little notice to prepare.

George King

Love the education in this place.

Josh

The exhibits are free to the public. It is split into 2 sections. One side covers the holocaust and the other side covers racial intolerance issues

Florian Lehmuth

Great place that can teach you a lot. Admission is free, so you can’t go wrong. The museum has a slight DIY feel to it which makes the gruelling stories being told all the more personal and touching.

Rocio Baca

I admire the nice work this people done im this museum!!

Alan Augustson

A moving experience. The history of hatred, shown through art, artifacts and the remembrances of the victims of oppression and genocide. A very kind elder guide walked me through the whole ghastly process, as the dehumanization of arbitrary groups went from laughable nonsense to codification in the law, and to its inevitable conclusion. It can happen here. It HAS happened here. It is happening AGAIN. Visit. See the parallels. Leave a different person than when you walked in.

Let's talk about it!

Very well maintained and informative. The people working here are very kind and knowledgeable. Enjoyed coming here! Very humbling.

Lori Santana

If you are ever in the area, take the time to go by the museum! The staff is incredibly friendly and knowlegable... it's an eye opening experience.

Smevin Bravis

Rivals the counterpart we know back home in L.A., if only for the fact that, while half is dedicated to the holocaust during WW2, the other half strives to educate on those injustices not in the popular dialogue, like the Armenian and Rwandan genocides. Also takes a solid stab at explaining how these sorts of mentalities get off the ground. Kindhearted people working here and there's pamphlets that can serve as a Injustice For Dummies guide on many of these issues. You leave here with a lot of depressing knowledge but a lot of hope for the future too! A must.

James Williams

To learn something new about the history. Please visit this place, this place is teach you about the higher of your knowledge.

Ilan Abecassis

Small but excellent.

Marlin Arriaga

Staff was friendly and very knowledgeable.

Tyson Turquoise

You'll learn...

Fred Finney

Small museum showing world wide examples of various human genocide events. There are a number of "in memory of" personal stories with photographs for the Jewish Holocaust. The museum was started by survivors who ended up in Albuquerque. Their museum includes other 20th century events (Namibia, Armenia, Rwanda, Bosnia, etc.), as well as earlier genocides such as African slaves in the New World and the decimation of Native Americans by disease, slavery, and settler colonialism (another perspective on "manifest destiny"). The Native American story includes episodic cultural genocide as well as removal and/or extermination events. Unfortunately the latter exhibit was being renovated when I visited the museum. Interesting story on the continuing Turkish government denial of the WW1 Armenian genocide. This museum may take you out of your comfort zone with the thought provoking exhibits of violence when one human group tries to exterminate another; and it is caused by intolerance of other religions and/or ethnic groups. Several exhibits have a do-it-yourself appearance; however, the message about a world wide connection between intolerance and genocide is more important than possessing a museum quality look (and hopefully the appearance will be improved in the future). Also enjoyed the museum building facade with its faux green turquoise and silver-like appearance. The interior is shown as a men's clothing store in Season 1, Episode 1 of Breaking Bad.

Lydia Rocks-Macqueen

You learn about Jewish history and other cultures too

Sarah DeRadke

4.5. A tiny museum, very dense with information about several different genocides and intolerance. Definitely worth the trip over there. 2 hour free street parking, and that is just the right amount of time to view everything. There was a good mix of personal stories, artifacts, and broad coverage of historical information. Several videos, lots of reading. I wouldn’t recommend it for small children or kids who don’t read well on their own.

Rodrigo Pessoa

Unforgettable

Becki Hands

Full of information beyond the holocaust. Very interesting if this is your thing.

I had a great visit with the staff. As a writer of Holocaust and WWII history, I came to establish contacts to assist them and secure them as a resource for future writing. They are a small museum but their content is put together well and professionally. They have a limited number of historic artifacts, as to be expected, but still tell the story of the Holocaust well. The staff is knowledgeable and are giving of their time and attention. I'm sorry a bit hard to find and the hours open are limited, but worth the effort to see.

No charge! Everyone should see.
