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.

Been here a few times, have yet to visit since the updates. What I find amazing about this little museum that packs a big hit to the soul and mindset is that you don't just learn history, this place has a gift to make it seem you are standing in that part of the world. The moments rush is phenomenal. If you are spiritually gifted or are able to make a movie in your mind while imagining everything you see in this museum you can feel the pain, the suffering, you can hear and smell the atmosphere. If you've paid attention to movies back from these times and realized the heartache...not just of the genocides but also of the murder innocent children! Anne frank etc. You will cry and want to take charge of making changes in today's world. Unfortunately until society decides to be humbled and think of the crisis we have in public affairs. Nothing will get better.

This was a very humbling experience. From the moment I walked in, the lady at the table was really nice and helpful. She explained what direction what which. While it is a bit small, they pack alot of information in a small area. I really enjoyed how they focused, not just about the German Holocaust, but they also focus on the African American race riots, also the Native Americans, and also the Armenian genocide. If you are ever in the Albuquerque area I highly recommend going.

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.

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.

This museum is very informative, as far as information on the Holocaust. Though, if you don't like to read, this museum is not the place to go. A lot smaller (space wise) than I thought it would be. Not much to look at when it comes to actual items from that time. I left sooner than I wanted to, bc I'm expecting and couldn't be on my feet any longer. Would love to go back when I have the energy to actually take the time to read everything. The woman that signed us in was very kind and helpful.

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.

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

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.

This Museum takes an interesting look at the Holocaust from the perspective of the long-held notion of "That didn't happen here, that could never happen here" and instead takes a look at different events here in the US that are comparable to what happened during the Holocaust and takes a look at the factors that played into the Holocaust happening. It is a very interesting museum that is doing good justice in the fight against injustice.

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.

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.

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.

Hidden gem. It's a small exhibition, but the way introduces the themes of the holocaust, other genocides and intolerance is so powerful and very well explained. Didn't expect I'd end up learning so much about those topics.

This museum is a must for all to understand visit. Very important to understand that just 75 ago the Holocaust ended, for the most part. If it happened once it can happen again. Education about the Holocaust is crucial to our young citizens .

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

We visited here while vacationing in ABQ, and we're glad we didn't miss out. I actually learned a few facts that I was not aware of previously regarding the persecution of minorities along with the Jews. Very interesting place to visit.

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

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.

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.

As disappointment, this was it. Web site said nothing about schools bring there . Drove 1000 miles and planned since Jan., Paid $16 in parking fees to be turned away. I give a 5 disappointment.

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.

It is a small museum but very moving. It is very well organized and there are very informative and historical items. I was very glad with my visit. I totally recommend it.

A small little museum with a huge emotional impact. They not only talk about the holocaust but other acts of genocide and intolerance through time and around the world.

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.

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.

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

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.

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