Holocaust and racist revisionism join in the hysterical media assault on LIBERATORS. Truth proves to be the first casualty in the revisionist war that was declared by critics of the WWII documentary film on Black soldiers. The attacks have consigned the film to an historical purgatory.

World War II Veteran Remembers
the Horror of the Holocaust
William A. Scott, III
In 1991 "W. A.", as he was known to family and friends, was honored for his "valiant service" with the Allied Forces in Liberating the Nazi concentration camps during World War II, and was appointed by President George Bush to the United States Holocaust Memorial Council.
In the weeks of April and May of 1945, Allied soldiers and reporters entered the Nazi Concentration Camps of WWII and exposed the unimaginable horrors of the holocaust. African-American soldiers were among the first witnesses to the holocaust legacy.
"The scenes were a double wound for, appalling in their own right, they also confirmed beyond words what two World Wars had already suggested - that Western civilization, so satisfied with itself as the flower of human evolution, might still use its vaunted minds and machines to serve the darkest and most primitive impulses."
