Holocaust By Bullets Opening
Holocaust by Bullets will open September 19th, 2024 at the Holocaust Memorial Resource and Education Center. The opening night reception will be held at 6:30 pm. Holocaust by Bullets discusses the often forgotten part of the genocide, where over 2 million Jews were shot by the Einsatzgruppen, or mobile killing units, and local collaborators and police units. There will be graphic photos, as well as interactive panels. There are six panels that explain the steps to the massacres: the arrest, the road, the undressing, the shooting, the looting, and an informative introduction. This exhibit is created by the organization Yahad-In Unum, who work to uncover the evidence and mass graves left behind from these terrible massacres. The exhibit runs through December 13, 2024.
