This was a harsh, tragic, and beautiful story. It took awhile to get into the story but then it became quite gripping.

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

pick

“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. 5d

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. 5d

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? 5d

kspenmoll @Butterfinger I will look into The Beloved Children. 5d

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

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. 5d

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. 5d

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 5d

kspenmoll It was his grandfather who got him interested in Ukraine where 1.5 mil Jews were killed by bullets. 5d

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. 5d

The Winemaker's Wife | Kristin Harmel

pick

Another historical fiction with such a heartfelt plot. I really enjoyed reading the story even when the tears fell. The timeframe begins as the Germans start WWII. The winemakers of France are trying to save their country. The love and memories broke my heart. One of the best stories I‘ve read this year. 4.5/5⭐️
