Many people gave generously of their time and talents to create this teacher's resource guide. Several people worked especially hard to make this project a reality. Margaret Walden of the South Carolina Department of Education acted as Project Coordinator for the curriculum. She is a careful and caring editor who made many thoughtful and perceptive additions to the content of this guide. Dr. Rose Shames not only acted as administrative director for this project, but also coordinated the interviewing of 39 Holocaust survivors and liberators. These testimonies preserved on videotape make a significant contribution to Holocaust education. They will be preserved in the archives of the National Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington D.C. To these people, we owe a special debt of gratitude. Dr. Selden Smith, professor of history at Columbia College, served as a conscientious reader, offering sound advice and friendship. Linda Durant of ETV demonstrated her genuine commitment to this project and concern for its participants as she directed the videotaping of survivors and liberators. Two concentration camp liberators, Claude Hipp and Henry Allen, were responsible for the identification of Holocaust survivors and liberators living in South Carolina.

Three scholars provided training for the interviewers who participated in the videotaping project. They were Dr. Mary Johnson of Facing History and Ourselves, Dr. Linda Kuzmack of the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum, and Dr. Selden Smith. Many people gave generously of their time to serve as interviewers. They were Lee Sokolitz, Ruth Jacobs, Jania Sommers, Janet Hudson, Jean Brock, Sue Sussman, Beverly Stahl, Meta Miller, Daphne Lurie, Richard Irwin, Richard Schellhammer, Tom Downey, and Shari Namin.
