Museum Happenings | November 2025

 

Museum Happenings

This November, we’re thankful for all of the people who make up The FHM community. Thank you to our Members, Life Members, donors, staff, volunteers, docents, and everyone who supports our mission! We’re excited to share some recent highlights from our programs:

Look Closer: An Evening of Magic: Through storytelling and sleight of hand, magician Joshua Jay shared Werner Reich’s remarkable story of resilience.

Family Friendly Workplace: The FHM received a Gold Award at Thrive by Five Tampa Bay’s Family Friendly Business Awards for our continued investments in supporting our team and their families.

Life Member Event: We honored our life members with a sneak peek into The FHM’s future projects.

Beethoven & Bernstein: This collaboration between The FHM and The Florida Orchestra explored the powerful connection between history, survival, and music. Through informative panel discussions and powerful live performances, guests discovered how we use music to honor, remember, and teach the lessons of the past.

Kristallnacht Commemoration: On November 9, community members joined us to honor the victims of Kristallnacht with a Commemorative Service led by Rabbi Amy Morrison.
