The Historical Society of Palm Beach County is honored to present Stories of Rescue, a profound new exhibit drawn from the collections of the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum (@holocaustmuseum). Now on view at the Richard and Pat Johnson Palm Beach County History Museum, this exhibition shares extraordinary accounts of ordinary individuals—ministers, housewives, soldiers—who courageously intervened during the Holocaust to save Jewish lives.

With contributions from Eliane Strosberg, mother of Palm Beach artist Serge Strosberg, who honors her parents, Isi Leuwenkroon and Lilly Brenig, and personal artifacts on loan from the Holocaust Museum & Cohen Education Center, Stories of Rescue is a powerful testament to humanity in the face of atrocity. Indefinitely on display, the exhibit also serves as a Holocaust education site in partnership with the School District of Palm Beach County.

In honor of Jimmy Buffett Day, we are privileged to share a special video featuring Jimmy Buffett, celebrating the rich history of the Palm Beaches. His deep love for this part of the world and his enduring connection to our community shines through in every word. This tribute underscores how special these shores were to him and reminds us of the legacy he leaves behind. Today, we honor not just a musical icon, but a true friend of our community.

As we unveil our new grand exhibition, ‘Wish You Were Here’ we reflect on how icons like Jimmy helped shape the allure of our beautiful shores. His passion for preserving the spirit of this paradise resonates deeply with our mission.

Today, we pay tribute to a legend who truly embodied the essence of the Palm Beaches.

Thank you to @pbillustrated for featuring our Annual Membership Meeting in the September issue.

Each spring, the Historical Society of Palm Beach County invites all members to attend the Annual Membership Meeting, where our leaders announce changes in the board of governors and share the accomplishments of the HSPBC during the prior year.

A highlight of this meeting is the presentation of the HSPBC community awards. Nominations are solicited from former honorees and historical organizations in Palm Beach County.

This year, those honored were Augustus Mayhew and Boca Raton Historical Society & The Schmidt Boca Raton Museum (@bocahistory).
