SUMMARY:Nazi Persecution of Homosexuals: 1933‐1945 Exhibition Opening
DESCRIPTION:On display at The Florida Holocaust Museum: April 30 – July 2\, 2017 \nNazi Persecution of Homosexuals 1933–1945 examines the Nazi regime’s attempt to eradicate homosexuality\, which left thousands dead and shattered the lives of many more. \n \nBetween 1933 and 1945\, the Nazi German regime promoted racial health policies that sought to eliminate all sources of biological corruption to its dominant “Aryan” race. Among the groups persecuted as threats to the national health were Germany’s homosexual men. Believing them to be carriers of a “degeneracy” that weakened society and hindered population growth\, the Nazi state arrested and incarcerated in prisons and concentration camps tens of thousands of German men as a means of terrorizing them into social conformity. \nPresented locally by Wells Fargo. \n  \nNazi Persecution of Homosexuals 1933-1945 was produced by the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum. \n  \nImage credit: US Holocaust Memorial Museum\, courtesy Schwules Museum\, Berlin.

SUMMARY:"Testimonies from the Rwandan Genocide" GHRAM Lecture by Karen Jungblut
DESCRIPTION:***POSTPONED UNTIL FALL 2017. STAY TUNED FOR FUTURE DATE TO BE ANNOUNCED. *** \nTestimonies from the Rwandan Genocide GHRAM Lecture by Karen Jungblut \n \nThe Florida Holocaust Museum’s Genocide and Human Rights Awareness Movement (GHRAM) lecture series brings Rwandan Genocide testimony expert Karen Jungblut to St. Petersburg! \nAs the Director of Research and Documentation at the University of Southern California Shoah Founation\, Jungblut oversees scholarship and research activities\, as well as a global network of partner sites with access to the Institute’s nearly 52\,000 testimonies. Jungblut is in charge of expanding the existing archive with video of Survivors of other genocides\, which will provide scholars and teachers with unprecedented research and teaching opportunities. \nIn 2013\, the USC Shoah Foundation’s Visual History Archive expanded beyond the Holocaust for the first time\, taking in 64 audiovisual testimonies of survivors and witnesses of the Genocide against the Tutsi in Rwanda. That set of atrocities claimed as many as one million lives over the course of about 100 days in 1994 when government-backed militias of ethnic Hutus went on a mass killing spree targeting the country’s next largest ethnic group\, the Tutsis. The Rwandan government has since eliminated the official use of those ethnic terms in its census and on identity cards in hopes of fostering reconciliation. \nIn order to integrate testimonies recorded and owned by other organizations into the Visual History Archive\, the USC Shoah Foundation has initiated the Preserving the Legacy program\, in which The Florida Holocaust Museum is an active partner and a soon to be access point for the Visual History Archive. The Visual History Archive allows users to search through and view more than 54\,000 video testimonies of survivors and witnesses of genocide. In addition to Holocaust testimony\, the Visual History Archive includes testimonies from the Armenian Genocide that coincided with World War I\, the 1937 Nanjing Massacre in China\, the 1994 Genocide against the Tutsi in Rwanda\, the Guatemalan Genocide of 1978-1996 and the Cambodian Genocide of 1975-1979. \n  \nThis program is one of many free programs to be offered by The FHM this year in celebration of its 25th Anniversary. For additional information about this program and to learn more about The FHM’s upcoming 25th Anniversary events and exhibitions\, visit the Museum online at www.TheFHM.org/25th. \n

SUMMARY:Love Lives Here: No Place For Hate
DESCRIPTION:Community Plans “Love Lives Here” Event At The Florida Holocaust Museum \nMarch 9\, 2017 at 6:30 p.m.\n The Florida Holocaust Musuem \nMayor Kriseman\, community leaders\, and faith organizations are holding a “Love Lives Here” event at The Florida Holocaust Museum in St. Petersburg on March 9 to stand in solidarity with those who have been targeted by acts of hate. This event has a goal of encouraging a community-wide response by institutions and individuals to create greater understanding and connection rather than fear of differences. \nWe’re joining with other groups to convene “Love Lives Here: No Place For Hate” at The Florida Holocaust Museum on March 9th at 6:30 pm.The goals for the evening are pretty simple: We want to stand in solidarity with those who are being targeted by hate and make a statement that love is more powerful. We want to learn from each other how to help those in fear’s way stay safe. And we want to counter the fears we harbor within ourselves by meeting people who walk different walks than our own. \nThis evening is not about politics\, it’s about people. People across the political spectrum can agree that threats\, attacks and abuse are not the sign of a healthy society. This evening is not about identifying bullies for counterattack but standing together to show that Love Lives Here in our community\, that it is No Place for Hate. \nWe’ll start with a diverse panel of faith leaders discussing with the attendees what it means to show solidarity to those being targeted for their faith. Then we’ll do some things to help participants build bridges and break down barriers between themselves and people they might think of as “different.” Then we’ll leave with resources and ideas on how to carry this spirit outside of the room. Please join us! \nThis event is free and open to the public! To RSVP\, visit: EQFL.org/LoveLivesHere or Facebook.com/events/1846713022209812/

SUMMARY:Opening of "Courage and Compassion: The Legacy of the Bielski Brothers"
DESCRIPTION:An original\, award-winning FHM exhibition\, Courage and Compassion: The Legacy of the Bielski Brothers chronicles the Bielski brothers’ story. This exhibition\, presented nationally by Bank of America\, is a multi-media presentation showcasing the heroic efforts of three brothers who helped save more than 1\,200 people while living in the forest during World War II. \nThree brothers\, Tuvia\, Asael and Zus Bielski\, took refuge from the Nazis in the forests surrounding Novogrudok\, Belarus. In the forest\, they formed a community of men\, women and children that numbered more than 1\,200 by the end of the war. The brothers led the group in acts of sabotage and defense against the Nazis. It is through the brothers’ leadership that the group survived starvation\, harsh winters and the threat of the Nazis and their collaborators. \nDuring World War II\, three of the Bielski brothers ran a Jewish partisan unit in Western Belorussia that saved close to 1\,200 Jews from the ghettos of Novogrudok and Lida and the surrounding countryside.  Their unit or otriad\, as known in Russian\, was unique.  While the great majority of partisan groups in World War II sought to fight the Germans in their midst\,  the Bielski brothers cared more about preserving the lives of as many Jews as possible than they did about attacking the German forces that occupied Western Belorussia.  For more than two years the brothers commanded their partisan unit in the Belorussian forests.  Their acts of rescue during extremely dangerous times stands as a monument to courage and compassion.  The Bielski brothers may be called Upstanders\, individuals willing to put their own lives in danger on behalf of others. This exhibition tells their story.  \nOn display January 14\, 2017 – June 18\, 2017 at The Florida Holocaust Museum.

SUMMARY:Opening of "Matzevot for Everyday Use: Photographs by Łukasz Baksik"
DESCRIPTION:The Florida Holocaust Museum is pleased to present the North American premiere of Matzevot for Everyday Use by Łukasz Baksik. This exhibition features photographs taken in Poland by Polish photographer Łukasz Baksik to document the ways in which Jewish gravestones have been stolen and re-appropriated. The matzevot are now parts of fences\, pavements\, and grindstones. Even today\, the matzevot continue to be used in cases where ordinary stone\, of which there is no shortage\, could be used. \nThe photographer wishes to illuminate the lengths that “people have gone to wipe out traces of Jewish culture” and to start a dialogue about how people can live in the midst of relics of antisemitism\, ignoring their shared history with a community that is no longer there. The showing of Matzevot for Everyday Use at The Florida Holocaust Museum will be the North American premiere of the exhibition. \nThe opening reception will take place on Saturday\, October 15\, 2016 at 7:00 p.m. and is free to members of The Florida Holocaust Museum and $9 per person for guests. Attendees will meet with the photographer Łukasz Baksik and enjoy wine and hors d’oeuvres. Please RSVP by calling 727.820.0100\, extension 271.  \nMatzevot for Everyday Use by Łukasz Baksik opens to the public on Saturday\, October 15\, 2016 at 10:00 a.m. at The Florida Holocaust Museum. The Florida Holocaust Museum is located at 55 5th Street S\, St. Petersburg\, FL 33701.  \nFor an exhibition study guide for educators\, click here. \nThis exhibition is made possible through the generous sponsorship of the Gemunder Family Foundation\, with additional support from the Jewish Federation of Pinellas and Pasco Counties.
