The Katyn Forest Massacre / Katyń


Katyn - Andrzej Wajda, film (english version).
"Katyn", directed by Wajda, is the first Polish film on the Katyn crime and the so-called Katyn lie.
In March 1940 Soviet leader Josef Stalin ordered the executions of 22,000 Polish army and police officers, intellectuals and clergy.
The Nazis discovered the mass graves during their march on Moscow in the fall of 1941, but Soviet propaganda blamed the deaths on Adolf Hitler and punished anyone speaking the truth with harsh prison terms. In 1990, Moscow admitted that dictator Josef Stalin's secret police were responsible.

Massacre na floresta de Katyn!
O realizador polaco Andrzej Wadja, nomeado para os Óscares com o seu filme «Katyn», conta a história trágica dos 22.500 polacos massacrados pela União Soviética em 1940.
