Professor Seipp is Professor of History at Texas A&M University. As the inaugural A.I. and Manet Schepps Foundation Teaching Fellow, Professor Seipp fulfilled his wish to devote a significant amount of time to systematically exploring the Visual History Archive, which he had been using remotely for six years.  

During his time in residence at the USC Shoah Foundation Center for Advanced Genocide Research, Professor Seipp gave a lecture to staff about his research of the Dachau death marches and liberation. He noted that historians have not devoted much study to the experiences of survivors who were liberated on roads, villages and countryside, not within the camp itself. He was particularly moved by the testimony of Zvi Griliches, a Dachau survivor who went on to become an economics professor at Harvard. He will integrate the testimonies of 26 survivors into his course about the final death march out of Dachau in spring 1945.
