… Czeslaw Milosz remembers friends killed at Katyn:
Crimes against human rights, never confessed and never publicly denounced, are a poison which destroys the possibility of a friendship between nations. Anthologies of Polish poetry publish poems of my late friends – Wladyslaw Sebyla and Lech Piwowar, and give the date of their deaths: 1940. It is absurd not to be able to write how they perished, though everybody in Poland knows the truth: they shared the fate of several thousand Polish officers disarmed and interned by the then accomplices of Hitler, and they repose in a mass grave.

Maybe this is gauche, but there may be some people reading this who do not know about the Katyn massacre. For them, I’d suggest a quick read of:

Condolences to Mr. UD and many other Polish patriots the world over.
