Emotions spill over at city flooding forum

Flooding is an increasing problem on the St. Petersburg peninsula, and residents of low-lying communities implored city officials to “do something” in an emotional and informative public forum Tuesday night.

Over 185 people attended the Resilience Community Listening Session at the Johns Hopkins All Children's Hospital Research and Education Building. They heard an hour of official presentations before airing their concerns and questions for about 75 minutes.

How the Holocaust Museum secured the Elie Wiesel archive

Leaders and advocates of the Florida Holocaust Museum in St. Peterburg are celebrating a hard-fought win after an extensive and competitive selection process to become the permanent home of Eliie Wiesel’s personal collection.

Eliezer "Elie" Wiesel was a Holocaust survivor and Nobel-prize-winning writer who authored nearly 60 books, including Night, a memoir based on his and his father’s experiences and the atrocities committed by German Nazis inside concentration camps at Auschwitz and Buchenwald during World War II. Wiesel was also renowned for his political activism, advocating for victims of oppression around the globe throughout his adult life.
