Founded in 1982 by a local businessman who had escaped Nazi Germany, The Florida Holocaust Museum’s purpose is to educate the past and how we can avoid future genocides. It is one of the largest Holocaust museums in the United States. The permanent exhibit teaches about how the Holocaust began, the rise of the Nazi party and the non-Jewish victims of the Holocaust. There is also a train boxcar on its original rails on display that is one of the few remaining train cars used to transport prisoners to concentration camps. There are also rotating exhibits to see too. In addition to exhibits, The Florida Holocaust Museum offers speaking presentations from Holocaust survivors and second-generation survivors. As many of the surviving victims have passed on, this is a unique opportunity.
