More About This Event

We are sharing this with a heavy heart, but it’s important. It memorializes the victims of the Derg regime's "Red Terror" campaign in the late 1970s. The exhibits, featuring photographs, personal belongings, and walls of names, are a powerful and emotional testament to a painful chapter. Visiting is a act of witnessing that honors those who lost their lives. It’s not a "fun" stop, but it’s a profound one that will give you a much deeper respect for the resilience and spirit of the Ethiopian people.

🎯 Don't Miss: The wall of photographs—each face tells a story. The personal artifacts, like glasses and letters, that make the history heartbreakingly real.

ℹ️ Practical Info: Photography is not allowed inside as a sign of respect. It's a small museum, but allow time for quiet reflection afterward.
