Yahad-In Unum

Yahad-In Unum

Yahad-In Unum (YIU) was founded in Paris in 2004 by leaders in the French Catholic and Jewish communities. Its primary initiative is to locate the sites of mass graves of Jewish victims of the Nazi mobile killing units, especially the Einsatzgruppen, in Ukraine, Belarus, Russia, Poland and Moldavia. YIU is led by Father Patrick Desbois, a French Catholic Priest whose grandfather was a French soldier deported to the Nazi prison camp Rava-Ruska, located in a Ukrainian town that borders Poland. Its American fundraising branch is the American Friends of Yahad-In Unum.
