The “Holocaust By Bullets” exhibit that showcases historical evidence of Jews being massacred in open pits is running now through Dec. 17 at the Alvin Sherman Library of Nova Southeastern University in Davie.
Over 200 people, including many South Florida Holocaust survivors, came to the opening reception for the exhibit on Oct. 10. The event featured two speakers who spoke on both the “Holocaust By Bullets” exhibit and the historical events of the 1930s and 40s that led to the Nazis killing Jews by mass executions in Eastern Europe between 1941-1944.
“They have no gravestones, no markers for their names, but people need to remember these victims of the Nazis,” said Ewa Schaller of the American Friends of Yachad-In Unum ( translation from Hebrew as “Together In One”), one of two speakers at the opening event.
Yachud-In Unum was created in 2004 by Father Patrick Desbois, a French Catholic priest, to reveal the historical evidence of the “Holocaust By Bullets” exhibit. The exhibit features testimonies of witnesses who saw the mass shootings of an estimated 2.2 million Jews killed in Eastern Europe, according to both Schaller and Jason O’Connor, an educator for the Southern Region of the March of the Living, who also spoke at the reception.
“The Nazis killed over two million Jews in Eastern Europe and were dumped in pits and ravines that were long ago covered by grass, trees and crops,” said O’Connor.
The exhibit includes photographs and videotaped eyewitness testimonies where millions of Jews were executed in mass shootings.
