Curated by Yahad-In Unum (a combination of the Hebrew word ‘Yahad,’ meaning “together,” and the Latin phrase ‘In Unum,’ meaning “in one”), Holocaust by Bullets presents eyewitness testimonies, interviews, photographs and maps of the Jewish and Roma mass genocides in former Soviet Union territory during the mid-20th century.

by learning from the past and educating in the present, we work to prevent genocide and mass killings in the future.

 Yahad-In Unum

Yahad-In Unum’s mission is “by learning from the past and educating in the present, we work to prevent genocide and mass killings in the future.”

Between 1.5 and 2 million Jews were executed from 1939 to 1943 in countries formerly part of the Soviet Union: Belarus; Lithuania; Moldova; Poland; Romania; Russia; and Ukraine. Their research is rooted in eyewitness accounts from individuals present during the mass shootings, who are now aging and whose historical perspective will no longer be available. Using these accounts with forensic evidence, the group identifies mass gravesites, collecting further evidence of the genocide.

Father Patrick Debois, Catholic Priest and Yahad-In Unum President, has dedicated his life to researching the Holocaust, fighting anti-Semitism, and furthering relations between Catholics and Jews.

This exhibit’s display in Criss Library is sponsored by UNO’s Sam and Frances Fried Holocaust and Genocide Academy. You can find the exhibit on the main floor of Criss Library; it is free and open to the public.
