Ukrainian Jewish Heritage Book Review: The Holocaust by Bullets

Much has been written about Nazi concentration camps, but little has been written about the Nazi massacres of Jews on Ukrainian soil and the peasants who witnessed these horrific events.

Father Patrick Desbois has devoted his life to researching the Holocaust, fighting anti-Semitism, and furthering relations between Catholics and Jews. The Holocaust by Bullets documents his very first efforts to uncover the truth about events in Ukraine during the years 1941-1944.

In 2004, Father .Desbois began to research the story of the people murdered in Eastern Europe during World War II by Nazi mobile killing units called the Einsatzgruppen. His findings are documented in this very insightful book.

After discovering that his grandfather witnessed mass murders of Jews, Desbois decided he needed to seek justice for these people.

With a dedicated team of volunteers, Desbois travelled to Ukraine where he found mass graves throughout the country and interviewed aging witnesses who described the horrific massacre of the Jews..

Desbois and his team also found that those individuals who had been “requisitioned” and forced to help the Nazi killing teams were traumatized for life.
