The Red Terror Martyrs’ Memorial Museum is a powerful reminder of the struggles endured by those under oppressive regimes. The exhibits document the impact of the Red Terror in Ethiopia and provide a sobering look at the unconscionable acts of violence and injustice inflicted upon citizens of Ethiopia. The museum is incredibly poignant and serves as a platform to deliver an important message: those who have suffered under a violent government have a voice and it must be heard. Additionally, it is free to enter, making it an accessible place to learn and remember. Apart from the physical museum, there is much to be learned from discussions with locals. It is important to gain insight from those who lived through the Red Terror and can provide multiple perspectives on the political situation at the time. It is equally as important to speak to the younger generations and understand their views of life today in comparison. The museum, plus conversations with those affected, offer a deeper understanding of the past and the present.
