Talk:Patrick Desbois

Those Murdered by the Commies
Thousands of mass graves, such as Katyn, were done in fact by the communists not the Nazis. Father Desbois need be  more careful  on this. 65.32.128.178 (talk) 23:40, 31 January 2009 (UTC)

Hi 65.32.128.178... If you read a little more, you will see that Father Desbois uncovers mass graves of everyone, whoever the perpetrator. The interviews he and his team conducts are purely factual... were you there, what did you see, what did you do, what time, etc. precisely, he is most careful to ensure that his micro historical research turns up facts, just facts, and fully documented facts. That makes the implications of his / his team's research, all the more mind-blowing (and I say this from the perspective of someone who is atheist and very opposed to today's racism in Israel) cckkab (talk) 16:19, 28 November 2009 (UTC)
 * I've yet to see real evidence for the "mass graves" he "uncovers". A picture of a whole in the ground doesn't go for a mass grave in my book. That he is uncovering Communist atrocities would be new to me as well. He should also clarify, if he then one day can show us a real mass grave, whether the remains are really the ones of innocent Jews, and not the once of Communist Partisans terrorizing the civil population. --41.18.67.141 (talk) 13:03, 16 January 2010 (UTC)
 * I have. They reburied the remains which contained bone fragments of many thousands of bodies. If you read his book he goes into detail of exposing the killing fields north west of Rava Rusaka and you will see detailed information of the mass graves he uncovered. As for the communists that's not the case is Rava Ruska. There are multiple recordings online where the survivors recall the Russians coming first and plundering the town, but not killing, then the Nazi's coming and at first befriending the towns people, and then beginning the mass gatherings and liquidations. In his book there are quotes from the towns people (direct evidence) about what happened "We were waiting for a priest to confess..." There murders, including my great grandfather, were organized by the Nazi's and executed by the Nazi's and local groups. The history is there if you are interested.
