To honor the veterans who liberated concentration camp survivors during WWII, the Central Texas Wing of the Commemorative Air Force joined the Texas Holocaust and Genocide Commission to do a missing man flyover over the state capitol.

Leading up to Veterans Day, the Texas Holocaust and Genocide Commission launched its Texas Veteran Liberators Project. The project aims to honor WWII veterans who liberated concentration camps during WWII and give them a place to recount their narratives. It also allows concentration camp survivors to reconnect with their rescuers.

According to the Texas Holocaust and Genocide Commission this is the first reunion of its type.

Pilot Taylor Stevenson discusses the importance of the project.
