FORA.tv Speaker - Patrick Desbois

Father Desbois has devoted his life to researching the Holocaust, fighting anti-Semitism, and improving the relations between Catholic and Jews. He is the advisor to the Vatican on Jewish relations and the founder of Yahad-in Unum.

In 2004, Father Desbois began leading missions to the Ukraine and Belarus, where he interviews witnesses to the Jewish massacres between 1941 and 1943. In these interviews, he allows the witnesses to give voice to what they saw, recording their testimony in the first-ever systematic investigation of the Nazi's massacres of Jews in former Soviet territory.
