November 2010 at the Florida Holocaust Museum
St. Petersburg, FL (Nov. 4, 2010) – The Florida Holocaust Museum presents:
Daniel Jonah Goldhagen
Tues., Nov. 30, 2010, 6:30 p.m. LOCATION: USF St. PetersburgCampus Activities Center
140 Seventh Ave. S
St. Petersburg, Fl 33701
(727) 873-4596 Join acclaimed author Daniel Jonah Goldhagen as he discusses his newest book, Worse Than War: Genocide, Eliminationism, and the Ongoing Assault on Humanity, and challenges fundamental things we thought we knew about human beings, society, and politics.
“Genocide seems at once so familiar and so overwhelming that we don’t consider that if we change our thinking about the problem, then we can see the way to stopping the killing and do so relatively easily. . . . My work and my talk are devoted to making the phrase “never again” finally mean it for everyone.”
Daniel Jonah Goldhagen is the author of #1 international bestseller Hitler’s Willing Executioners: Ordinary Germans and the Holocaust. The book, available in fifteen languages, was named by TIME as one of the two best non-fiction books of 1996 and Goldhagen won Germany’s prestigious triennial Democracy Prize in 1997 as its author.
Goldhagen, born in 1959, received a B.A., M.A., and Ph.D. from Harvard University and was a professor in Harvard’s Government and Social Studies departments until he decided to devote himself full time to writing. He is a member of Harvard’s Minda de Gunzburg Center for European Studies and on the board of directors of Humanity in Action.
Free to FHM members and college students with valid student ID; $9 for guests; please RSVP: (727) 820-0100, ext. 236. Guest admission may be applied to FHM membership.

Photography of Judy Ellis Glickman Through Sun., Feb. 13, 2011 Through images and symbols, the horrors of the Holocaust are familiar to us all. Yet, too few of us are aware of the remarkable story of the flight of the Jews out of Denmark to safety in Sweden in the fall of 1943. This exhibition of photographs by Judy Ellis Glickman reopens a time in our history when the bravery of a few overcame the brutality of so many. Media Sponsor: WUSF Public Media Faith Under Fire: Jehovah’s Witnesses in the Holocaust Through Sun., Jan. 2, 2011 Jehovah’s Witnesses, a Christian community of 35,000 in Germany and occupied lands, refused to conform to the Nazi ideology of hate. They suffered severely for their belief in nonviolence and their utter rejection of racism. Thrown into Nazi camps, they became eyewitnesses of Nazi genocide. As historian John Toland wrote, this is a story of human courage that must be heard. A gallery guide for Faith Under Fire is included with Museum admission. Save the Date: To Life: Music of Hope
Thurs. Feb. 17, 2011 The Florida Holocaust Museum will present Violins of Hope as the major component of the Museum’s annual benefit, To Life: Music of Hope, on Thurs., Feb, 17, 2011; 6 p.m., at the Progress Energy Center for the Arts – The Mahaffey Theater, St. Petersburg.

Those are the findings of a St. Petersburg Times/Bay News 9 exclusive poll that asked parents with children in Bay area schools about major education issues, including homework, the quality of schools, the FCAT, technology and advanced placement courses. Despite all the talk about school budgets, class size issues, standardized tests and early release days, 90 percent of Bay area parents call their kid's schools good or excellent. And the happiest seem to be in Hillsborough County.

Third Rock for Autism fundraiser set for Saturday in New Port Richey
Published: May 19, 2010
NEW PORT RICHEY - Less than a month from graduation, Gulf High School seniors Steve Toth and Britt Smith have a lot on their mind - exams, saying goodbye to high school, planning for college, staging a seven-hour rock concert.
For the third straight year, Smith and Toth will take control of Gulf High's Des Little Stadium, 5355 School Road, to stage Project: Rock for Autism. Gates open at 11:30 a.m. this Saturday, May 22, for this year's musical fundraiser benefitting the University of South Florida Center for Autism and Related Disabilities.
With personal motivations to do something to help the growing number of families with children diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder, and personal involvement in the local music community, Toth and Smith organized the first Project: Rock for Autism as sophomores, along with classmate Crystal Rosado.
Last year, on the heels of the second annual Project: Rock for Autism, the trio was honored with Florida Holocaust Museum's Anne Frank Humanitarian Award.
"In past years these concerts have raised over $3,500 for various autism charities around the bay area and helping to bring awareness to our community about the disorder," Toth said. "Our mission is to spread awareness and raise money for a disorder that is usually overlooked, yet affects up to one in every 110 of our generation's children."
