The movie “Katyn” probably should be seen by anyone interested in Communism and it’s fruits.

There isn't anything in the American Experience or psyche that there is in the Polish when it comes to Katyn. I've known and worked with many Poles and Katyn is something they can never forget or forgive. Few Americans know of the abject hatred Poles have for Russians.

“In 1989, with the collapse of Soviet Power, Premier Gorbachev finally admitted that the Soviet NKVD had (in April-May 1940) executed the Poles, and confirmed two other burial sites similar to the site at Katyn. Stalin's order of March 1940 to execute by shooting some 25,700 Poles, including those found at the three sites, was also disclosed with the collapse of Soviet Power. This particular second world war slaughter of Poles is often referred to as the “Katyn Massacre” or the “Katyn Forest Massacre”. “ (He executed 22,000 Polish officers)

In 2011 on the 70th anniversary of the Kaytn massacre a Polish deligation on the way to the site near Smolensk (Russia) crashed. I do not believe it was an accident and most Polish do not either. They despise the Russians with great cause.

My wife's grandfather, an officer in the Polish army, narrowly avoided being at Katyn. He realised that the train the Russians had put the officers on, promising to send them home, was heading the wrong way. Him and some others managed to escape when the train slowed at a junction: it was only lightly guarded as it was one of the first to be sent to Katyn. Once he'd escaped, he removed his officer's insignia and managed to make his way home.

I'm grateful fo this, otherwise his beautiful grand-daughter would not exist and I'd never have met her ;-)
