“Learning from the past and educating in the present, we ensure that mass killing will never again be a silent crime”.
Yahad-In Unum (YIU) is a French organization founded to locate the sites of mass graves of Jewish victims of the Nazi mobile killing units, especially the Binsatzgruppen, in Ukraine, Belarus, Russia, Poland and Moldova. It was founded in Paris in 2004 by leaders in the French Catholic and Jewish communities. YIU is led by Father Patrick Desbois, a French Roman Catholic priest whose grandfather was a French soldier deported to the Nazi prison camp Rava-Ruska, located in a Ukrainian town that borders Poland.
