Soviets massacred Poles

I see in this morning's paper that documents were released Monday supporting the belief that President F.D.R. suppressed information of the Soviets' guilt in killing 22,000 Polish officers and others in Katyn forest and other locations in 1940.

Two years ago today I was in Stafford, England, when David, my cousin, took me to see the monument to the men who were massacred in 1940. President FDR denied reports that the Soviets had been responsible because he was in tense negotiations with Stalin to defeat Germany. (See above photo) It was constructed by the Polish community who wanted to remember the massacre and to tell the world about it. For more information about Katyn forest including details of the history, photos of other memorials, and much more  see Stafford's monument

I was in Norway in 1968 attending the Oslo University Summer School when I met a young Polish man. And he told me about this massacre. I had never heard of it. I had studied modern European history at UWO and never heard of it. I realized that I had studied WW2 from the point of view of Canada, the US, and the UK. I was ignorant of points of view of other nations.
