visit to the museum Museum of Memory and Tolerance

In that session, what we did was visit the Museum of Memory and Tolerance, which is located in Mexico City. Basically, what we did was plan this visit with our GLOBAL CONFLICTS OF THE 20TH CENTURY teacher, because in this subject (history) we are seeing parts of the second world war, which led us to set our sights on this museum, it does not talk about the second world war but it talks about an event which goes hand in hand with this war, the holocaust and the second world war are separate events, clearly if one had not been done the other would not have had space in time either.

What the museum gave us were headphones in which you could listen to your guide without any problem, due to the number of people that we were, this resource was necessary. As you go into the first part of the museum, they show you data, images, models , videos, etc. about how the people who were victims of the holocaust suffered for months at the hands of the Nazis, but in the second part of the museum there is more talk about genocides which humanity has had, as the genocide of Rwanda, with these exhibitions you realize that the People and humanity in general have no respect or fear of power, which leads them to have thoughts or want to do inhuman things to other people in order to be “the best” or the most important on the planet in which many people live. But this museum doesn’t just want to show you the atrocities of the human being, but also wants to give you hope that humanity wants to change, by exposing people like Martin Luther King, who fought for his rights as a person of color.

With this visit I learned many things about the bad and the good of the human race but I think that with the visit I was able to realize that people have a great future in which we as individuals have to participate in a good way, cause bad things like genocides could happen, many people say that they will do the impossible to save the human race of death, but few take action, the museum teaches you many lessons and leaves you with questions that only you can answer.
