Florida
Holocaust Museum
The Florida Holocaust Museum
honors the memory of millions of innocent men, women, and children who
suffered or died in the Holocaust. The Museum is dedicated to teaching
members of all races and cultures to recognize the inherent worth and
dignity of human life in order to prevent future genocides.
One of the largest Holocaust museums in the country, the Florida Holocaust
Museum is the result of St. Petersburg businessman and philanthropist,
Walter P. Loebenberg’s remarkable journey and vision. He escaped Nazi
Germany in 1939 and served in the United States Army during WWII.
Together, with a group of local businessmen and community leaders, the
concept of a living memorial to those who suffered and perished was
conceived. Among the participating individuals were Survivors of the
Holocaust and individuals who lost relatives, as well as those who had no
personal investment, other than wanting to ensure that such atrocities
could never again happen to any group of people.
