NMSU Holocaust exhibit presents ‘Survivors Who Made New Mexico Home’
New Mexico State University is hosting the “Americans and the Holocaust” traveling exhibit, and this week’s programming showcases “Refuge in the Land of Enchantment: Holocaust Survivors Who Made New Mexico Home.”
On Thursday, Camelia Caton-Garcia, an archivist at New Mexico Holocaust & Intolerance Museum will share the personal stories of survivors who migrated to the U.S. during the Holocaust.
The programming event is part of Americans and the Holocaust, a traveling exhibition from the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum and American Library Association.
It discusses the motives, pressures and fears that shaped Americans’ responses to Nazism, war and genocide in Europe during the 1930s and 1940s.
The NMSU Zuhl Library was selected as one of 50 U.S. libraries to present the touring version of the special exhibition between 2024 to 2026.
“Americans and the Holocaust” will be on display at Zuhl Library until Friday, September 25, 2026.
Next Thursday, Sept. 24, there will be a film screening of “Nazi Town, USA” with Director Peter Yost.
Admission is free and all ages are welcome.
The events are from 3 p.m. to 4 p.m. every week.
