The annihilation of the Jews of Ukraine

Between 1941 and 1944, more than one and a half million Jews were murdered in Ukraine. The research carried out by the association Yahad-In Unum on site for six years makes it possible to locate hundreds of forgotten mass graves, and to collect the accounts of hundreds of Ukrainians who were witnesses of the massacres. In the presence of Edouard Husson, doctor of history, lecturer at the University Paris IV-Sorbonne, and Father Patrick Desbois, president of Yahad-In Unum, director of the National Service of the Bishops of France for relations with Judaism, consultant to Saint-Headquarters for relations with Judaism.

Led by Sophie Nagiscarde, head of cultural activities at the Shoah Memorial.
