“1,400 police, fire and national homeland security officers trained in law enforcement & society: lessons of the holocaust program during 2014-2016: the goal of the program is to investigate the role german police played during the holocaust and contrast it with the law enforcement in a democracy in the u.s. Today. Officers learn how within a short span of time, german police turned from neutral professionals into some of the worst perpetrators during the holocaust. German police took part in rounding up and mass shooting of over 2 million innocent human beings: jewish men, women, and children. Against the backdrop of this disturbing history, we discuss the role of police in the u.s. The emphasis of the program is twofold: the alignment of personal, professional, and national values in everyday work of police officers, and seeing society members as individual human beings. Participants of the program have shared in their evaluations that the program was a true eye opener and a reminder how crucial the decisions of law enforcement professionals are in maintaining and protecting a democratic society. Training for the st. Petersburg police department, pasco fire department, homeland security officers and new recruits in the tampa police department took place during 2015-2016. Leadership from the tallahassee police department came to observe classes before scheduling the program in their area. 200 hours of survivor testimony captured and digitized since the holocaust was a series of atrocities inflicted by people on people and a matter of great moral and ethical significance, it is crucial that the human experience of the victims be told in the first person so that it may be at least partly understood. The museum's commitment to filming and digitization will keep the stories of holocaust survivors, liberators and rescuers alive for future generations. 1 of 3 accredited holocaust museums in the united states the fhm's ongoing commitment to professionalism, standards and best practices allows it to host numerous national and international exhibitions, attracting tens of thousands visitors every year and reinforcing the important role the museum and florida have as international tourist destinations.
