Thank you for this very interesting discussion. I am working on Katyn Massace related topisc in Wikipedia and on the memorials of the victims on findagrave. The very much appreciate the approach chosen by Jane Rogoyska.
They didn't Katyn is nonsense the soviets admit they did in 3,000 and have done for years. the papers handed over by gorbachev are obvious forgeries and have soviet embossed seals on them not in use until 1958.
They weren’t just officers who were captured by soviets while retreating from the Germans. Soviets after invading Poland on 3rd September 1939, summoned all Polish army officers from the area soviets were occupying, to assemble and do a so called “roll call”. However, once the officers were assembled, they were taken as POWs. They were murdered and buried in Katyń and other places. My great-great uncle was killed in Katyn. His wife and his mother (my great-great grandmother) were deported and killed also by the soviets. They were family of a murdered Polish officer and they needed the families to also disappear.
My grandfather was on the so-called Ukraine List - murdered by the Russians somewhere in Ukraine, possibly near Kharkov as far as I can tell. I'd love to find more information on what exactly happened to him whether he might have been held in one if these camps. Such a chilling story!
@@user-wo3mf1gh7i БОТ! Это сделало НКВД по решению Сталина. Из Москвы приехали высоко постовленные НКВДисты. Разве Сталин и они, это Украинцы. Ваше знание истории уж не слишком. \
You can consult the roll-call of the victims from the Ukrainian List here, you should find the name of your grandfather + rank + some additional info: pl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ofiary_zbrodni_katy%C5%84skiej_%E2%80%93_zamordowani_z_Ukrai%C5%84skiej_Listy_Katy%C5%84skiej
