Summary
Between 1941 and 1944, one and a half million Ukrainian Jews were assassinated when Nazi Germany invaded the Soviet Union. The immense majority was killed by Einsatzgruppen firing squads (mobile execution units in the East). Hitler's hatred of both communism and the Jewish religion met in an unprecedented explosion of violence. The Einsatzgruppen were the tool for this extermination. Today, historians acknowledge this as the origin of the "Final Solution". Yet there is still only little reliable Information. For the general public, the extermination of the Jews began with the concentration camps and the gas chambers. The story of the 'Shoah by bullet' in the Ukraine is practically unknown. This forgotten history has been the subject of Father Patrick Desbois' relentless research for the past years, in the Ukraine and in the USA
