Producer
Aliza Wong, Ph.D., is associate dean of the Honors College and associate professor in the Department of History. She was the principal investigator and project lead for the Texas Liberator Project (www.texasliberators.org), funded generously by the Texas Holocaust and Genocide Commission (THGC), that offers a new educationalresource introducing the history of the U.S. liberators of the German concentration camps into the secondary school curriculum. Drawing on the award-winning work of the Baylor University Institute of Oral History commissioned by the THGC, this project was distributed free of charge to all Texas middle and high schools as a pedagogical tool for teachers to use in their classrooms. The final project has four distinct but interconnected products: 1) an app that allows students to "enter" the history and interact directly with maps, video components, blueprints, biographical materials, documents, photographs,
and other primary source texts in a uniquedigital platform; 2) a Texas focused website that features an interactive map and educational resources as well as an Honor Roll that “rescues” 480+ names liberators; 3) The Texas Liberators: Veteran Narratives from World War II (Texas Tech University Press, 2017),a hardcover book sent free to all Texas middle and high schools through a generous grant from the Friends of the Texas Holocaust and Genocide Commission; and 4) a museum exhibit that opened at the Museum of Texas Tech University in 2017 that is now traveling across the state of Texas to the Holocaust and WWII Museums.
