Founded by two German Jews, Walter and Edith Lobenberg in 1992, the Florida Holocaust Museum presents its visitors with a powerful thought-provoking message – that all human beings, regardless of race and culture, possess a deep, inherent worth and dignity of life. Through the sobering and moving artefacts displayed in the museum, the museum continues its empathetic mission to spread human rights and Holocaust awareness, in order to prevent future genocides.

The three-storey museum is home to an extensive collection of exhibits and memorabilia from the war: on the first floor, the permanent exhibit on “History, Heritage, and Hope” educates visitors on the harrowing history of World War II and the rise of antisemitism, whilst the second and third floors are home to a series of rotating temporary exhibits showcasing themes related to the Holocaust, such as the Nuremberg Trials, and are carefully curated by the museum staff on a regular basis. A particularly poignant highlight of the museum is the actual boxcar used to transport the Jewish victims of the Holocaust to the concentration camps in Poland, located within the permanent exhibit on the first floor.
