Summary of Father Patrick Desbois's The Holocaust by Bullets

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:

#1 I grew up in a family that was Catholic and humanistic. My parents taught me a strict Catholic and humanistic ethic. I knew I would have to make a choice about God and the Catholic Church.

#2 My family always took the opportunity to give me a detailed account of the places where they had come face to face with history. They were simple people who wanted to tell me what had happened, using places and traces where the war had marked our daily landscape.

#3 I learned about a topography, strange, distant, and foreign, that was synonymous with misfortune and suffering. It was the name Rawa-Ruska. I didn't know what country it was in, but it was nowhere. It was impossible to locate it.

#4 I was 12 years old when I saw images of the Holocaust for the first time in the municipal library in Chalon. I opened a book and saw photographs of the concentration camps for Jews at Bergen-Belsen. I understood everything: I understood my grandfather’s secret.
