Teaching with Testimony: Stories of Black American Liberators

Echoes & Reflections' webinars are designed to increase participants’ knowledge of Holocaust history, explore and access classroom-ready content, and support instructional practice to promote student learning and understanding of this complex history and its lasting effect on the world.

In addition to survivors of Nazi persecution, the USC Shoah Foundation has interviewed liberators and liberation witnesses, rescuers and aid providers, political prisoners, and participants in war crimes trials. This Echoes & Reflections webinar examines the stories of Black GI’s featured in USC Shoah Foundation’s iWitness platform and Echoes & Reflections who liberated concentration camps, including Leon Bass and Paul Parks. It will also focus on the experience of facing the reality of Nazi genocide, while balancing the impact of discrimination and violence at home in the United States.
