Holocaust Memorial Resource and Education Center of Florida

The Holocaust Memorial Resource and Education Center of Florida is located inside of the Holocaust Memorial Center Museum. The library is open when the museum is open and offers books and videos for borrowing. Visitors are free to borrow the materials for two weeks at a time, as long as you have a library membership, available with a photo ID. There are also some books and tapes available for sale at the museum. The collection includes the paperback book Sarah's Children, the DVD Paper Clips, The Holocaust Cookbook, which features recipes from survivors, the paperback book Berlin N-54 and the hardcover book Hiding in the Spotlight by Orlando journalist Greg Dawson. Dawson tells the story of his mother, a musical prodigy who escaped by concealing her Jewish identity. She continued to perform for audiences who, had they known she was a Jew, would have killed her. The resource center has a collection of photographs, cards, letters and other memorabilia. The artifacts in the collection include an armband with a Star of David, several Nazi armbands, a Nazi banner, prayer books, a badge, calendars, a Jewish ID card, a metal cup used by Anne Frank, money, dolls, a Nazi flag, utensils, music, sculpture and a bar of soap.
