If you want to participate in civic life here in Tallahassee but aren’t interested in preparing a 3-minute speech for a commission meeting, we have a local tradition that’s just for you. On Wednesday, March 20th at 6 pm at the WFSU Studios, citizens will have an opportunity to gather with both Leon County and City of Tallahassee Commissioners for the 12th Annual Tallahassee Town Hall — our hometown’s neighborly answer to all the anger on hourly display in Washington, D.C.

Moderated by WFSU Public Media’s Tom Flanigan, the event program pairs commissioners from both the City of Tallahassee and Leon County for a cross-governmental discussion about where Tallahassee is as a community, where we’re going, and what challenges we face in getting there. Scheduled to join the conversation from Leon County are Commissioners Rick Minor, Carolyn Cummings, Nick Maddox, Brian Welch, and David O’Keefe; and from the City of Tallahassee are Mayor John Dailey and Commissioners Curtis Richardson and Jack Porter.

The Town Hall program is a continuation of an ongoing series of unique locally-focused forums sponsored by The Village Square, a nonprofit devoted to bridging divides through discussion and spirited disagreement. The program is offered in partnership with the Tallahassee Democrat, WFSU Public Media, and Leadership Tallahassee, a program of the Greater Tallahassee Chamber of Commerce.

The Tallahassee Town Hall will have a live in-studio audience and will also be streamed live on Zoom from 6 to 8 p.m. on Wednesday, March 20th. Both participation options are open to the public, but advance reservation online is required. For more information or to reserve your space online, visit tlh.villagesquare.us.

Camp Gordon Johnston WWII Museum in Carrabelle is presenting an exhibit to remember the Holocaust, Hitler’s program to commit genocide against those he deemed unworthy, especially Europe’s Jews. This exhibit will open Tuesday, April 2 and will be on display at the museum until Saturday, April 27. The museum is open every Tuesday through Saturday from 11 am to 5 pm. There is no charge for admission, but donations are gladly accepted.

Beginning in 1933, the German Government established prison, labor, concentration, and extermination camps throughout their territories, including in countries they occupied before and during the war. Groups that were arrested and detained included Roma, Communists, Jehovah’s Witnesses, homosexuals, the disabled and especially Jews. Some 12 million people perished in the more than 44,000 facilities, ghettos and killing fields across Europe, including 6 million Jews. The Museum acknowledges the need for all citizens to understand this dark period of history, what caused it, who perpetrated it, and how some resisted and fought their captors. Eyewitnesses such as survivors and the soldiers that liberated these camps are aging and dying, but many have told their stories. Visitors are invited to come see this sobering exhibit, and help our society remember those that were victims of atrocity, prejudice, and hate.

The internationally recognized date for Holocaust Remembrance Day corresponds to the 27th day of Nisan on the Hebrew calendar and it marks the anniversary of the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising which started on April 19, 1943. In Hebrew, Holocaust Remembrance Day is called Yom Hashoah. In 2024, Yom HaShoah will be recognized beginning at sunset on the evening of Sunday May 5 – Monday May 6.

Camp Gordon Johnston WWII Museum is located in Carrabelle, directly across from Carrabelle Public Beach Park at 1873 Hwy 98 West. For more information, contact the museum at (850) 697-8575 or museum@campgordonjohnston.com. Funded in part by the Franklin County Tourist Development Council.
