Should be taught to every one of our students in high school: the lessons of what happens when murderous totalitarians lead.
Thanks for posting the link. I heard about Katyn several years ago. I now thousands died at the hands of the Russians. Why is such a thing not more well known??
My grandparents came here before that happened, but I still had - probably still do have - relatives over there. I’m bookmarking the link for later viewing.
Thanks!
lovable Stalin- 33 million killed- build the gulag
lovable Mao- 45 million killed!- harvest the organs
of political prisoners
just a couple of really nice guys!- so misunderstood,
communist dictators just needed more time-
I don’t recall anyone ever pursuing the murderers from Katyn like they did Nazis. I doubt even the Russians know who did it.
It really is amazing how little the Left has had to apologize for their lionization of these evil men right up through the 1970s.
Thanks for the post.
Katyn was just a drop in the bucket of Stalin’s killing machine. He was afraid the Poles would join with Germany against the USSR, and so killed many other Poles and other nationalities as well.
