WHAT:
Visiting from Paris, Father Patrick Desbois will speak about his
investigation of the mass murder of Eastern European Jews by the Nazis
during the Second World War. His extraordinary work in unearthing evidence
of Nazi atrocities in Ukraine from 1941-1944 is recorded in his book
"Holocaust by Bullets: A Priest's Journey to Uncover the Truth Behind the
Murder of 1.5 Million Jews." His team visited the sites of these murders,
and interviewed surviving witnesses, many of whom were recruited by the
Germans to assist in the executions. He has received a number of awards for
this work, including the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum's
Humanitarian Award. Father Desbois is president of Yahad-In Unum, an
ecumenical organization that supports Catholic and Jewish projects in
Europe, and has been involved in Catholic-Jewish relations in France and
around the world throughout the past decade.
