El Paso Holocaust Museum

019
   Like the other museums that we visited in El Paso, this one is on the small side. Even so the exhibits are very well done. By watching short videos in each section, visitors follow the story of Hitler’s rise, the horrendous treatment of the Jewish people in the ghettos, the horrors of the concentration camps, the liberation of the camps, and the search for a new home. The final room features interviews with some of the survivors. Parts of the displays are graphic so I wouldn’t recommend taking young children to the museum.

  Most of the museum is accessible. A separate doorway allows the box car, which has steps, to be bypassed. Several doors are very heavy.

  The museum has a small parking lot. Large RVs may be able to be parked lengthwise across the spaces if the museum isn’t busy. Museum

  2. We were surprised to find a Holocaust Museum in El Paso too but apparently a good number of Jewish people immigrated to Mexico during the Spanish inquisition then migrated north to Texas.
