Florida Holocaust Museum, Holocaust museum in St. Petersburg, United States.

The Florida Holocaust Museum occupies a former bank at 55 Fifth Street South in St. Petersburg, a light gray building with a dark red band along its roofline and a V-shaped recessed entrance. Its three floors hold the permanent exhibit "History, Heritage, and Hope" and an archive on the first floor, with temporary galleries above. The architect of the 1998 conversion was Israeli-born Nick Benjacob.

Walter and Edith Loebenberg, German Jews who fled Nazi persecution, founded the museum in 1992 as the Holocaust Center in rented space at the Jewish Community Center in Madeira Beach. Its first exhibit, 'Anne Frank in the World', drew 24,000 visitors in a month. In 1998 it moved to a former bank at 55 Fifth Street South, renovated by architect Nick Benjacob, and was renamed the Florida Holocaust Museum in 1999.

The museum's name and mission come from founders Walter and Edith Loebenberg, German Jews who escaped Nazi persecution; Walter survived Kristallnacht in Frankfurt in 1938. Since 1999 the museum has hosted Austrian Gedenkdienst (memorial service) volunteers. School groups are regularly addressed by a Holocaust survivor, increasingly from the second generation.

The permanent exhibition occupies the ground floor, with temporary and travelling galleries on the second and third floors, so start at the bottom and work upward. School groups are received regularly and a Holocaust survivor or a second-generation speaker addresses them, so mornings can be crowded. The museum lends teaching trunks of materials to schools across the country except Alaska and Hawaii.

The centerpiece is boxcar #113 069-5 from Gdynia, Poland, displayed on original track from the Treblinka killing center. A European girl's ring from the 1930s was found between its wooden planks, evidence the car carried civilians to the camps. The museum also holds the collection of Holocaust survivor and artist Toby Knobel Fluek.
