Welcome to the New Mexico Holocaust & Intolerance Museum

We speak out:

The New Mexico Holocaust & Intolerance Museum is dedicated to building a better world through education focusing on the consequences of hate and intolerance. We are deeply concerned about the increase of antisemitism, Islamophobia, and all acts of hate the world over. The truth of the Holocaust and other genocides teaches us that hatred, discrimination, and bigotry left unchecked have devastating results. Every person deserves to feel safe and respected, regardless of their differences. Innocents trapped in war and conflict are entitled to security, dignity, and access to the basic needs of food, water, and shelter.

It is everyone’s responsibility to speak out against injustice.

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. Our purpose is 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 is our focus. A critical component of our mission is educating children about bullying, prejudice, and hate. Our outreach programs encourage empathy for others–to become upstanders, rather than bystanders–and befriend those in their communities who need their support.

Our exhibits educate. The museum welcomes thousands of visitors annually. We include exhibits on the Holocaust, the African American and Native American experiences, and others.
