Ping a thread by lizol on the passing of Father Zdzisław Peszkowski, survivor of Katyn. Thanks for the ping, LilAngel.
Until the last days of his life, Fr. Peszkowski fought for the truth about the 1940 Soviet mass murder of twenty thousand Polish POWs - military officers, but also civilians - professors, doctors, lawyers, clergy, higher state officials - the intellectual elite of pre-war Poland. The truth, as he often reminded, which was forbidden during the decades of communist regime in Europe.
'The truth about the Katyn massacre has for years been a tester of conscience of many world powers who knew about it, but kept silent, captive to different entanglements.'

For those new visitors, the following is not Polish, but from martyrs in Germany who dared to speak out, Sophie Scholl and friends.
"We will not be silent. We are your bad conscience. The White Rose will give you no rest."
