While many are aware that hundreds of thousands of Japanese and Japanese-American people (many of whom were U.S. citizens) were interned in camps during World War II, few know three such camps existed here in New Mexico. This exhibit opened in the museum to the public on December 18, 2025. Evidence of Life: Revived Through the Archives-curated by students from the UNM Honors College, this exhibit examines personal stories and experiences of people who lived during the Holocaust. The exhibit uses primary source materials from the Yavneh Klos and NMHIM collections. This exhibit is curated, researched, designed and developed by students of the class and was first displayed at Congregation Alberts annual Yom HaShoah service on April 13, 2026. The service was attended by around forty participants. The exhibit was subsequently installed in the museum on May 9, 2026 where close to thirty visitors attended the opening reception. Removal & Resilience-focuses on the displacement and forced removal of Indigenous tribes in the United States and New Mexico. This exhibit was created as part of NMHIMs student exhibit design program. Students at Technology Leadership High School worked with museum staff to develop this insightful exhibit about The Trail of Tears and The Long Walk and how Indigenous communities demonstrated great resistance and resilience amidst devastating forced removals. This exhibit opened in the museum to the public on May 2, 2026.Other programs June 14- Author talk by Jane Ziegelman, director of the culinary program at the Lower East Side Tenement Museum in NYC. She spoke about her most recent book, Once There Was a Town: The Memory Books of a Lost Jewish World.

The event was held at the New Mexico Veterans Memorial and was attended by approximately 26 people. On June 20, 2026, NMHIM hosted our first Holocaust survivor and survivor descendant get-together.
