Update: I read The Holocaust by Bullets on August 30th, and you can read my review, here.
The Holocaust by Bullets: A Priest’s Journey to Uncover the Truth Behind the Murder of 1.5 Million Jews, by Father Patrick Desbois, is a book I saw for sale on Sunday, in one of my favorite book stores. I purchased it, and will be reading it soon.
The publisher’s website states it will be released on August 19, 2008, but it was on display, and for sale this past Sunday. That isn’t unusual, and I’m glad that I was there, saw it, and was able to buy it.
I wrote a post about Father Desbois last October, after I read an article about him.
For over four years Father Patrick Desbois has traveled far and wide throughout the Ukranian countryside in order to learn more about the fate of the Ukranian Jews. Through interviews with witnesses, Father Desbois was able to learn about their fate.
If you are interested in seeing Father Desbois at a book signing event, check out the information, here.
I treasure this book already, and haven’t even read it. The story behind it is compelling and overwhelming. I will be pushing some books in my stack of “to-reads” aside, in order to read The Holocaust by Bullets, by Father Patrick Desbois.

Jew Wishes…Peace to you all.

Way to go, Father Desbois.
Let’s see “Bishop” Williamson and his buddies in the SSPX stuff that in their antisemitic censer and smoke it!
