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.

I enjoy history and learning the good and bad and this is a powerful and very important subject.

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.

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
