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.
