15,000 Poles murdered by the Socialists

An award-winning film by Wadja from 2007, with limited release in the United States.

Description:

In March 1940 Soviet leader Josef Stalin ordered the executions of 22,000 Polish army and police officers, intellectuals and clergy. The killings took place in the spring of the same year in the Katyn Forest. The victims, mostly from POW camps in Kozielsk, Starobielsk and Ostaszkow, were shot in the back of the head. 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.

Note - U.S. President Franklin D. Roosevelt, a Democrat, deliberately covered up the massacre, and who was responsible, after the area was liberated from the Nazis in 1944. (Source: Katyn Forest Massacre film BBC).
