About this audio guide
This guide to the Memory and Tolerance Museum in Mexico City centers on a silent rail car recreating the trains that ran to Auschwitz, and on Sharon Zaga, who visited the camp as a sixteen-year-old and spent over a decade turning that visit into a privately funded museum with Mily Cohen. You'll move gallery by gallery through Armenia, Cambodia, Guatemala, Rwanda and Darfur, each one built around the same act: standing before the evidence and simply bearing witness. No government funding backs any of it, so nothing here was softened.
