Florida Holocaust Museum
Re-Connect. Re-Imagine. Become Part of the Story.
At The Florida Holocaust Museum (The FHM), history is more than remembered—it is experienced. With over 25,000 articles in our collection, visitors are immersed in exhibitions that trace the Holocaust’s deep-rooted history and honor those who lived, resisted, and rebuilt. From the authentic Danish rescue boat Thor and Boxcar #113 069-5, to testimonies that speak across generations, The FHM invites all to witness stories of courage, compassion, and resilience.
Rotating special exhibitions and a preview of The Wiesel Collection—the future home of Elie and Marion Wiesel’s personal archive—offer fresh perspectives and urgent relevance. The Dimensions in Testimony℠ interactive experience brings Survivor voices to life, fostering dialogue and understanding in a way never before possible.
As one of the nation’s premier Holocaust museums, The FHM is a space to reflect, to learn, and to advocate—for truth and one another.
On View at The FHM
History, Heritage, & Hope | Core Exhibition
An original exhibition, curated by The FHM | Permanent
Our core exhibition traces the Holocaust from its origins to its aftermath through powerful artifacts and firsthand survivor testimony. Stand before Boxcar #113 069-5, one of the few remaining Nazi-era boxcars of the type used to transport victims to Auschwitz and Treblinka. Alongside it, meet Thor, a 10-ton Danish fishing boat used in the 1943 rescue of over 7,000 people. Together, the artifacts on display at The FHM honor both the memory of those who perished and the courage of those who resisted.

What Visitors Love
This is a very educational and moving museum that offers a meaningful look at one of the darkest periods in history. The exhibits are thoughtfully organized, with photographs, historical documents, personal stories, and artifacts that help visitors understand the experiences of Holocaust victims and survivors. The railway car and personal accounts make the visit especially powerful and unforgettable. The museum is well worth taking the time to explore, and the experience leaves you reflecting on the importance of remembrance, human rights, and treating others with dignity. It’s an important place to visit and learn from history.
What an amazing museum dedicated to one of the darkest period in history. Through the exhibits, they tell the story of the Holocaust from pre-World War II through today. The people you learn about on your tour through the museum will help shed light on the struggles during this time. We have been here several times and each time we learn something new. They also recently remodeled so there is plenty new to see including the Danish rescue boat.
Great museum, recommend a visit. It's sad what humans can wind up doing to other humans, and this is a good reminder of one the many examples in world history.
Very moving and well done. Expect to spend some time to visit each exhibit and allow for other visitors in view. I was so impressed and touched by the detail and emotional response it all invoked in me. What a very horrific part of our history. We must never allow something like that to happen again! The building and entry are secure and the staff was pleasant.
The museum provides so much information via photos, documents, artifacts, survivor interviews ... Visitors can follow multiple paths at their own pace. The history captured in the exhibits is stark -- depicting cruelty toward people based on evil intent & madness. This museum's message is important. My visit today enhanced my awareness of injustice to all who are unfairly blamed and abused.
