We work collaboratively with other Museums, and organizations such as Yad Vashem, Jewish Foundation for the Righteous, United States Holocaust Memorial Museum, Association of Holocaust Organizations, University of South Florida, University of Tampa and Eckerd College, the Anti-Defamation League, and many others. We also provide presentations at state, national and international conferences.
Carl Wilkens
The Florida Holocaust Museum had the privilege to have worked twice with Carl Wilkens during the Human Rights and Genocide Studies week of our annual Summer Institute for Teachers.
Meeting Carl has been a life-changing experience for both the Summer Institute participants and for Museum staff. His powerful story has been a true source of inspiration. Carl led the Adventist Development and Relief Agency International (ADRA) in Rwanda and was the only American who decided to stay there during the 1994 genocide rather than be evacuated.
He witnessed the atrocities firsthand and in the midst of the genocide tried to deliver help to fellow human beings in need. You can reach Carl through his website at www.worldoutsidemyshoes.org.
Jewish Foundation for the Righteous
The Florida Holocaust Museum has been identified as a Center of Excellence by the Jewish Foundation for the Righteous. The Holocaust Centers of Excellence Program is a partnership between the JFR and the participating Holocaust center. In agreeing to participate in the program, each center receives two initial scholarships for the Summer Institute for Teachers and commits to nominating two educators each year thereafter. Additionally, each center agrees to sponsor Holocaust teacher education programs that draw on JFR materials and training models. The centers make a commitment to teach the Holocaust in as comprehensive a manner as possible and to include the subject of rescue. Teachers who attend JFR programs – known as Alfred Lerner Fellows – form a cadre of educators for each local center as well as for the JFR.

Encyclopedia Britannica – The Holocaust Project
The Florida Holocaust Museum is offering this online resource as a result of our partnership with the Encyclopaedia Britannica. The Holocaust Project is Britannica’s effort to make available to the public its extensive coverage of one of history’s darkest chapters, the Holocaust.
More than a hundred articles comprise Britannica’s coverage of the Holocaust — including information that ranges from the rise of Hitler and the meaning of the swastika to a survey of the camps and the Holocaust in art and memory — and many of the entries have been written by renowned scholar and author Dr. Michael Berenbaum, the former director of the Holocaust Research Institute at the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington, D.C. Britannica’s coverage includes biographies, essays, photographs, and videos as well as discussion prompts appropriate for the classroom.
For more information about the project please contact Theodore Pappas at Encyclopaedia Britannica.
For ease of uploading Britannica’s article titles and links, the material is presented two ways below:
