In memory of Walter P. Loebenberg, founder of the Florida Holocaust Museum
USC Shoah Foundation is saddened by the recent loss of Walter P. Loebenberg, a friend of the Institute and a Holocaust survivor who, after finding refuge in the United States, went on to open the Florida Holocaust Museum, one of the largest Holocaust museums in the nation. He was 94.

And through that, his message from the past, which he repeats today, will live on forever: “Believe!”
