MARIETTA, GA - The Marietta History Center is honored to present Witness to the Holocaust, a traveling exhibit presented by the Georgia Commission on the Holocaust. "Witness to the Holocaust" is a photographic essay of one of Atlanta's leading African American citizens, William Alexander "W.A." Scott III, who witnessed the liberation of the Buchenwald concentration camp through the lens of his camera.
The exhibit also draws parallels between the Jim Crow Laws of the 1880s-1960s implemented in the United States and the Nuremberg Race Laws of 1935-1945 implemented in Germany and Nazi-controlled areas of Europe.
Through a series of striking photographs and historical context, visitors will explore the life and legacy of W.A. Scott III, whose rare and courageous documentation sheds light on the atrocities of the Holocaust, as well as the injustices faced by African Americans in his own country. The exhibit encourages reflection on themes of racism, injustice, and human rights across time and place.
Witness to the Holocaust will be on display at the Marietta History Center starting on Tuesday, August 12th through Friday, October 10th, 2025, and is included in the price of regular admission.
