Holocaust by Bullets Exhibit Reception and Lecture, Sept. 10
On display September 10 – December 17, 2017
The NSU Alvin Sherman Library hosts the opening of the internationally recognized “Holocaust by Bullets Exhibit”, September 10, 2017 at 10 am on the Second Floor, Cotilla Gallery. At 11:00 am guests will be treated to a thought provoking lecture by Ewa Schaller, Program Director at American Friends of Yahad-In Unum and Jason O’Connor, Ph.D. candidate in Comparative Studies at Florida Atlantic University. The event is free but reservations are requested, lv297@nova.edu or 954-262-4578.
The Exhibit features ten years of field investigations in the former Soviet Union by Yahad – In Unum. Yahad – In Unum, founded by French Catholic Priest Father Patrick Desbois, presents its painstaking research in a succinct yet approachable manner that enables the visitor to uncover, step‐by‐step, the crime committed against Jews and Roma by the Nazi killing units.
Known as the “Holocaust by Bullets”, the systematic killing of all Jews started before the creation of concentration camps and continued until WWII‘s end throughout the ex‐Soviet Union from 1942 to 1944. The exhibit gives viewers a chance to learn about this lesser‐known side of the Holocaust, through eyewitness testimonies, photographs, and maps and presents Yahad’s identification of five steps of the crime that took place almost systematically for every mass killing throughout Eastern Europe leading up to the executions—the arrest, the road, the undressing, the shooting, and after the executions, the looting.
