Thanks! Did you know the architect of the Katyn-Massacre was Lavrentijz Berija, a Soviet Jew? It is also interesting to note that the Soviets accused and convicted the Germans of the massacre at Nuremberg!

"Lavrentija Berija composed the resolution to murder 27,500 Polish officers, soldiers and civilians. When the members of the Polit-Buro gathered on March 5, 1940, Berija’s resolution was adopted and subsequently carried out in Katyn and other places." Der Spiegel, 8/1996, page 147.

Along with most members of the Polit-Buro, Berija was also a Jew. The International Military Trubunal of Nuremberg charged the German Wehrmacht and the SS for the Katyn-Massacre. The German defendants were not permitted to defend themselves against the Katyn indictment as they were not allowed to produce evidence against Auschwitz accusations.

Katyn - village, W European Russia, W of Smolensk near the Belarus border. It was occupied by the Germans in World War II. In 1943 the German government announced that the mass graves of 4,250 (sic) Polish officers had been found in a nearby forest and blamed Soviet forces for the massacre. The Soviet government asserted that the Poles had been killed by the Germans. In 1990 the USSR admitted that Soviet secret police had killed the Poles, and in 1992 Russian officials released documents that showed STALIN had ordered the killings.
