Holocaust Museum commemorates Kristallnacht, plans the future

The Florida Holocaust Museum is actively commemorating Kristallnacht while simultaneously advancing plans for its future, with construction well underway in downtown St. Petersburg. This significant redevelopment project, described as a "re-imagining" of the museum, aims to enhance its educational outreach and community engagement. Interim CEO Michael Igel reported that despite some delays caused by recent hurricanes, the project remains on schedule for a tentative dedication in mid-March. The museum's commitment to honoring the memory of Holocaust victims is reflected in its dedication to providing a space for education and remembrance.

By addressing the historical significance of events like Kristallnacht, the museum aims to foster awareness and understanding of the Holocaust’s impact. Furthermore, the construction marks a pivotal step in ensuring that the museum continues to serve as a vital resource for the community. This initiative not only pays tribute to history but also prepares the museum to fulfill its mission for future generations. As the project progresses, the museum looks to create a more impactful and engaging experience for visitors.
