An Evening with Father Patrick Desbois
We are honored to invite you to a captivating conversation with Father Patrick Desbois. For more than 15 years, Father Desbois has worked tirelessly to collect testimonies of eyewitnesses, and identify sites of mass crimes committed against European Jews and Roma by the Nazis and their collaborators during the “Holocaust by Bullets.”
His meticulous forensic study led to the identification of more than 3,100 execution sites while interviewing for the first time more than 7,400 eyewitnesses on the massacres committed by the Nazi death squads. Many of the sites have never before been documented, and remain unmarked even today.
During our moderated conversation we will also discuss how the mission of Desbois and his team has evolved to encompass the threat of modern-day genocide, group hatred and antisemitism.
