The Holocaust by Bullets: A Priest's Journey to Uncover the Truth Behind the Murder of 1.5 Million Jews | Father Patrick Desbois

I guess I didn‘t expect this to be a memoir. Still intriguing and helping to block out all of the bleeding football.
#FatherPatrickDesbois #TheHolocaustOfBullets #audiobook

GingerAntics I feel like I‘m hearing more of Father Patrick‘s story than that of the Ukrainian jewish communities. Maybe it‘s just taking time to develop. 11h

kspenmoll If I remember correctly he does write of various communities & their collusion with the Nazis,also also a few brave anti Nazi actions. I had no knowledge of this part/geographic area during WWII, nor of the original mass murder with bullets prior to the camps. 11h

kspenmoll I knew it was a memoir going into it because I heard of him in the first NF book I read

The Ravine: A Family, a Photograph, a Holocaust Massacre Revealed

11h

GingerAntics @kspenmoll I enjoyed The Ravine… well, enjoyed might not be the right word, but I absolutely ADORED the scholarship. That is one of the best pieces of scholarship I have ever read, and it‘s such an important topic. I guess I missed the reference to this book, I was so engrossed in her scholarship (couldn‘t shut up about it while I was reading it). This one just isn‘t hitting the same. I might but be in the right mood for it either. 11h

“Every witness is unique,a living protest of sorts against the abject annihilation of the memory of his assassinated Jewish neighbors”(145).Why have I read this month 3 books addressing the holocaust,1 through a photograph,a 2nd,historical fiction following a real child,& this one, through bullets? I think I am seeing so many parallels to our president‘s attempt to turn this country into a dictatorship-I need the concrete.#MondayMood 🤬😡😢😭

Deblovestoread So important! Stacking. 4mo

Butterfinger Yes, and it is so easy to become depressed because you feel so impotent about the past. We can do something now. Keep sharing about the past and speaking up about today's injustices. I hope you read something light. The photograph still haunts me. I remember when Lisa Kudrow found out about her father's Jewish family. They had all been murdered in a mass grave. I can't remember if it was Ukraine or Poland. There was a memorial. 4mo

Butterfinger I never thought till today that these precious people should be exhumed and given a respectful burial. I need to read this book. We need to honor by reading about each soul. Do you follow The Beloved Children of the Holocaust? 4mo

kspenmoll @Butterfinger I will look into The Beloved Children. 4mo

Father Patrick Desbois‘s passionate commitment to honoring the 1.5 million Jews who died by bullets.

Butterfinger That would be sucg a daunting task. This is all of Europe, correct? I know of communities who have built monuments with names who were lost. He's right. In death, they should be honored. 4mo

GingerAntics Oh my god, they are/have building monuments to the Nazis? That‘s gross! That‘s not any different in my mind than building monuments to confederate soldiers and the confederacy itself. This man is doing amazing, important work. 4mo

kspenmoll @Butterfinger @GingerAntics Yes,the Nazi monuments are all over Europe.These literal killing fields are located all over Ukraine-those were the villages he was visiting & recording elderly witnesses that were still alive.Most had never unburdened themselves of their stories. His grandfather,a French soldier was captured by the Germans & sent to Rawa-Ruska,a concentration camp in Ukraine 4mo

kspenmoll It was his grandfather who got him interested in Ukraine where 1.5 mil Jews were killed by bullets. 4mo

GingerAntics @kspenmoll wow! That is terrible! I‘m so glad he gave these survivors space to let these stories out. No one should carry any story, any trauma, but certainly such horrors alone. 4mo

This is a library book that was referred to in the book Ravine by Wendy Lower. Started it today. Like her book, it is a record of a holocaust by bullets rather than death camps, mostly in Eastern Europe. #toomanybookstoolittletime #libraryhold

Legacies of Dachau: The Uses and Abuses of a Concentration Camp, 1933-2001 | Harold Marcuse

I will not call this "Aligator anything", no this is Donald's Dachau...the 1st concentration camp established by the Nazi's. They were so proud of their 1st concentration camp that they would have sold merch if they could have too.
If you're feeling hopeless, overwhelmed and like you have no control over any of this...remember calling it what it is , a concentration camp is resistance. Joy is resistance, knowledge is resistance. Resist
