Founded in 2001 by an actual Holocaust survivor, Werner Gellert, the New Mexico Holocaust and Intolerance Museum is dedicated to educating the public about the numerous dangers and risks associated with intolerance as well as the history of the Holocaust and other events of genocide. Many of the exhibits feature events leading and surrounding the Holocaust like Nazi Germany and its leader Adolph Hitler. These exhibits showcase photos of the Buchenwald liberation as well as Dauchau survivors and child slave labor camps. Many of the photos were taken by Dick Kent, a local photographer. One interesting but haunting attraction available at the museum is a life-sized replica of a WWII survival labor camp gate with a German inscription. The words, when translated to English, means “work sets you free”. More poignant than this, however, is the Sonja’s Legacy exhibit, which features the various artworks done by a teenage girl imprisoned in a concentration camp. Her works are reminiscent of those by Anne Frank, only this time diary entries were turned into drawings and paintings.
