The picture was taken at a site where Jews were shot during the Nazi occupation - it is of a mass grave excavated in Ukraine. It will take 'several more years to finish the research'. The research is that of Patrick Desbois, a French Roman Catholic priest.
Over four years, [he] has videotaped more than 700 interviews with witnesses and bystanders and has identified more than 600 common graves of Jews, most of them previously unknown. He also has gathered material evidence of the execution of Jews from 1941 to 1944, the "Holocaust of bullets" as it is called.You can read about his work here.
"People talk as if these things happened yesterday, as if 60 years didn't exist," Father Desbois said. "Some ask, 'Why are you coming so late? We have been waiting for you.'"The rest of the pictures. (Thanks: MK.)
