Holocaust by Bullets

September 19, 2024 - December 13, 2024

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.

After graduating from medical school, Dr. Holzer briefly served in the Czechoslovak army before making a harrowing escape from the Nazis to a port of last resort, Shanghai, in 1939. A determined man, Dr. Holzer kept in touch with friends and family in various places via letters.
