Tennessee Holocaust Commission
Father Patrick Desbois will be the guest of the Tennessee Holocaust Commission on March 28th.
The Tennessee Holocaust Commission is bringing a special guest to Nashville. Father Patrick Desbois is founder of the international human rights organization Yahad-In Unum. He is a
prolific author, distinguished Professor at Georgetown University, historian, forensic detective, and world-renowned human-rights activist. He has committed himself to a life-long effort to fight the disease of Genocide and bring solace to its victims. For more than 15 years, Yahad-In Unum (“Together In One”), has worked tirelessly to collect testimonies of eyewitnesses, and identify and document sites of mass crimes committed against European Jews and Roma by the Nazis and their collaborators during the so-called “Holocaust by Bullets.” Their meticulous forensic study has led to the identification of nearly 2,900 execution sites while interviewing more than 7,000 eyewitnesses on the crimes committed by the Nazi death squads. Many of those interviewed have never spoken of the massacres, many of the sites have never been documented, and many remain unmarked even today.
Father Desbois will be speaking on March 28, 2023, 7-8pm at Montgomery Bell Academy (MBA) in the Paschall Theater, 4001 Harding Road. The program is free, but registration is required. Email atrachtman@tnholcom.org to reserve a seat.
