Host Jim Williams discusses the Holocaust by Bullets exhibit now open to the public at the Boulder JCC. The Holocaust by Bullets Exhibit focuses on the history of the Holocaust by Bullets–the mass shootings of Jews and others that took place throughout Eastern Europe by the Nazi mobile killing units from 1941 to 1944–and the mechanisms of mass violence generally. It pays homage to the memories of the victims while seeking to promote a proactive movement against genocide.
