French Priest Studies "The Holocaust By Bullets."

Father Patrick Desbois is one of the leading scholars of the Holocaust in Europe. Fully a quarter of the Holocaust's six million Jewish victims never made it as far as a death camp. Instead, these 1.5 million people were shot, stabbed, mutilated and stacked in pits by savage German soldiers and their allies.

Visiting Eastern Europe many times over the years, this priest from Lyon learned the tales of murder and studied the burial sites. "There is only one human race - a human race that shoots two-year old children." "Ristance in the face of evil" is a moral obligation we too often fail to fulfill. "

???We cannot give a posthumous victory to Nazism. We cannot leave the Jews buried like animals, Men, women, and children without tombs or burial places appeared ... as the supreme token of dehumanization.???


Father Desbois has recently written a book "The Holocaust by Bullets: A Priest's Journey to Uncover the Truth Behind the Murder of 1.5 Million Jews." His book comes out in August.
