Description:In 1943, mass graves with the bodies of Polish officers imprisoned in the POW camp in Kozielsk were discovered in the forest in Katyn near Smolensk. They were murdered by the NKVD. Originally, this particular event was referred to as the Katyn massacre.In 1990, when the suspicions that the Soviet authorities also murdered prisoners from the camps in Starobelsk and Ostashkov were confirmed, this term began to denote a crime against Polish prisoners of war from three camps: in Kozelsk, Starobelsk and Ostaszków. Therefore, it broke away from a specific place of events and took on a symbolic character related to the extermination of Polish prisoners of war in the USSR in general.The final formation of the concept of the Katyn massacre came in 1992, when we learned the details of those events. Polish prisoners of war held in the Soviet Union were murdered on the basis of the resolution of the Bolshevik Party's Political Bureau of March 5, 1940. This resolution also referred to the murder of thousands of Polish civilian citizens who, after the USSR's aggression against Poland in September 1939, were arrested by the Soviet political police - NKVD and prisoners.Today, the concept of the Katyn massacre means the extermination of all Polish citizens on the basis of the March resolution of the Soviet Politburo - both prisoners of war and prisoners. Their number is nearly 22 thousand. people: 14.7 thous. prisoners and 7.3 thousand. prisoners.The richly illustrated brochure contains four articles:Sławomir Kalbarczyk, The Katyn Massacre - in Questions and AnswersWitold Wasilewski, A Brief History of the Katyn CaseMałgorzata Kuźniar-Plota, Information on the Polish Katyn investigationAdam Siwek, The Katyn massacre.
