New Mexico Holocaust Museum and Gellert Center for Education

Founded in 1998 and opened in 2001, the New Mexico Holocaust Museum is dedicated to eliminating hate and intolerance through education. Our exhibits illustrate–through artifacts, memorabilia, pictures, documents, videos, and books–historical conflicts caused by local, national, and global prejudice, culminating in the most unspeakable of all horrors, the Holocaust. We are dedicated to providing knowledge on genocides and intolerance throughout history continuing to present day. Approximately 60 percent of the museum focuses on the Holocaust, covering the horrors perpetrated by the Nazis against both Jews and non-Jews. The remaining space is devoted to other genocides, human rights, and social justice issues. The facility includes a research library that is available for public use.
