During three weeks in October 1943 (WWII), the citizens of occupied Denmark ferried their Jewish friends and family to safety in Sweden, saving over 7,200 lives. One of those boats now harbors in the Florida Holocaust Museum in St. Petersburg. It serves as a symbol of hope, freedom, and human kindness.
In our premiere episode, meet Khris Johnson, co-owner and head brewer of Green Bench Brewing Company. The green bench is an iconic image of St. Petersburg but also one of segregation. Khris brings visibility to the past and creates an inclusive community around craft beer.
