A new Holocaust education Web site and multimedia virtual tour of the Florida Holocaust Museum, 55 Fifth St. S, was unveiled last week to a class of ninth grade International Baccalaureate students at St. Petersburg High School.
Education Commissioner Charlie Crist was present. The site, http://www.flholocaustmuseum.org, provides a virtual museum and on-line educational center that has been designed to support Holocaust education in Florida classrooms.
Centerpiece of the new site is a 40-minute virtual tour of the museum's permanent exhibit. In coming weeks, visitors to the site also will be able to access video interviews with Holocaust survivors, the museum's tolerance learning center, its 2,500-volume library and a variety of other information.
