The Texas Liberator: Witness to the Holocaust

September 07 - October 28,2018

"Curated by Texas Tech University in collaboration with the Texas Holocaust and Genocide Commission, this powerful show tells the story of 24 U.S. soldiers who liberated the concentration camps in Europe at the end of the Second World War. Upon entering the camps, the soldiers were not prepared for the terror, torture and depravity they discovered. Although they were hailed as liberators by the prisoners, what the soldiers found haunted many of them for the rest of their lives. The exhibit features modern portraits by photographer Mark Umstot, service photos of the men, as well as a selection of oral testimony clips and WWII military artifacts."
