Research notes, 9/25
Hi Austin and Elisa! You have been assigned the article on the Florida Holocaust Museum. Here are your research notes from class on 9/25:


 * Find out more about founders
 * Treblinka Killing Center needs a source
 * permanent collection

You might also take note that the article has been tagged by other Wiki editors as needing sources that are more contemporary, covering more recent happenings (this note was made in 2012).

AH Comments 10/04: Elisa, it looks like you made some good progress today. I think, since the editorial comments on the article are calling for some updated material, it might be a good idea to take a look at what you can find about the FL Holocaust Museum's more recent programs in, say, Tampa Bay Times or another news outlet. It would be good to know if exhibits have substantially changed, if the the museum has added to its programs or changed management, etc. I also like the idea of looking at the Edie Loebenberg obituary to see what additional details might be found about the founding of the museum.

Elie Wiesel attended the 1998 opening ceremony of the FHM, in which he served as the Honorary Chairman. For six years after it's opening in 1992, the museum finally departed from the JCC of Pinellas County in Madeira Beach. First major exhibition was the boxcar #113 069-5, which became part of the permanent collection. Museum started as a collection of 10 Holocaust posters which the founders had acquired. Collection includes the boxcar #113 069-5 which was used for transportation of Jews to Treblinka, resting on the original tracks as part of the History, Heritage and Hope permanent exhibition. Many sources have been found for temporary exhibits. One includes the Eichmann Exhibit which ran up until July 15 2018  Temporary exhibit features promoter Bill Graham who fled Nazis as a kid, which will run until 2019. & Additionally, artwork was donated to the FHM by a Holocaust survivor's daughter:  A new exhibit will give guests a virtual tour of a concentration camp in Poland called 'The Last Goodbye', guided by a Holocaust survivor himself.

Outreach programs were also found.They include Speak Up now and the Anne Frank Humanitarian award which recognizes high school juniors who have shown humanitarian efforts in and outside of school. More outreach programs include the Generations After group which is for the daughters/sons/grandchildren of Holocaust survivors. The FHM also provides police agencies in Florida with Law Enforcement And Society (LEAS) lessons, which are meant to educate officers about the role that German police had in the Holocaust. An upcoming event was found happening at the museum relating to Kristallnacht.

It was founded by Walter and Edith Lobenberg both of whom were German Jews who escaped persecution in Nazi Germany by immigrating to the United States. Holocaust survivor Elie Wiesel served as Honorary Chairman and cut the ribbon at the 1998 opening ceremony .The museum works with the local community and survivors of the Holocaust to spread awareness and to educate the public on the history of the Holocaust.

Reflections:

1. 2. 3. 4.
 * Article contains decent info on history of founders and museum, although we may add more regarding founders
 * Article lacks in description of exhibits. While info on permanent exhibits is hard to find, we have many sources to add info on temporary exhibits
 * Talk page offers no suggestions, but note at top asks for more up to date information, which we will add with info on new exhibits.
 * Outside sources are still needed since much of the information came from the Tampa Bay Times or the museum itself. More information on the life history of the founders would have been useful. Outside sources on the permanent collection are also lacking.
 * An item to add is an image of Elie Wiesel cutting the ribbon at the 1998 opening of the museum . Images of the teaching trunks in schools would help emphasize its use in education and the community.

Review

The article, as it stands, gives pretty good detail for the history, founders and permanent collections section. However, all of the other sections need some work. I believe that a you guys are on the right track as far as wanting to expand on those smaller sections in order to create an equilibrium throughout the entire article. It would have been a lot easier if you guys had just highlighted the parts you added to the drafted section, so we could see it a lot more clearer. It also seems like you just incorporated material that is mentioned later on in the article into the drafted section. It sounds a lot better, but I think if you can expand out and find something new to add in there, it would look a lot better. I do agree that by going to the museum, you can collect more useful information. Also, adding images would be great!

In the third paragraph, under the museum section, the article mentions that part of their mission is to raise awareness for human rights, but I don't see any where in the article as to how they raise awareness other than for Holocaust awareness. Maybe this is something you can discover by visiting the museum or searching online. I believe this is also how the Florida Holocaust article and Florida Equality article can relate. If we can find out how they raise awareness for human rights.

Peer Review Jeremy Nevans Locke 11/5/18

You guys have done a great job on improving and clarifying sections of this article. One way to improve could be to include more details about the temporary exhibits. You have started to give more information in your draft, but I would continue to build on this. You could consider more of a timeline format which cites the temporary exhibit highlights and most popular or publicized.

You could also consider rearranging the last few sections of your article. Specifically, if you have no more information to add to the Education or Volunteer headings, consider integrating them to a previous section. The two sentences about education don’t justify a completely different section in my opinion.
