Welcome to the New Mexico Holocaust & Intolerance Museum

Our Mission

The New Mexico Holocaust  & Intolerance Museum uses the lessons and personal stories of the Holocaust, other genocides, and New Mexico’s diverse history to educate and inspire communities of upstanders.

Our Vision

NMHIM envisions a world in which individuals respect and stand up for the differences in others. Through the museum’s collaborations, both in person at the museum, in schools and community sites, and online, we aspire to be agents of change by encouraging dialogue, building mutual understanding, and taking appropriate actions within our diverse communities to create upstanders.

 
Our Museum

We are unique. For over 25 years, our purpose has been to educate visitors about the Holocaust as well as teach about other genocides and forms of bullying that have affected people around the world. We are not limited to one religion, culture, geographic area, or time.

 
Education

Education is our focus. Through school tours, presentations by first and second-generation Holocaust survivors, and outreach programs, students learn about the consequences of allowing hatred and bigotry to go unchecked. They are each empowered to become an upstander- someone who stands up for what is right.

 
Exhibits

Our exhibits educate. The museum welcomes thousands of visitors annually. We feature exhibits on the Holocaust, the genocide of Christian minorities in the Ottoman Empire, and propaganda, as well as rotating exhibits on topics relevant to our mission.
