Today, these brutal events are symbolized by one word, Katyn - a crime that still bitterly divides Poles and Russians. Paul's richly updated account covers Russian attempts to recant their admission of guilt for the murders in Katyn Forest and includes recently translated documents from Russian military archives, eyewitness accounts of two perpetrators, and secret official minutes published here for the first time that confirm that U.S. government cover-up of the crime continued long after the war ended." "Paul's narrative recreates what daily life was like for three Polish families amid momentous events of World War II - from the treacherous Nazi-Soviet invasion in 1939 to a rigged election in 1947 that sealed Poland's doom. At the heart of the drama is the Poles' uncommon belief in "victory in defeat" - that their struggles made them strong and that freedom and independence, inevitably, would be regained."--BOOK JACKET. 591 Record updated by Marcive processing 21 June 2024 650 0 Katyn Massacre, Katynʹ, Russia, 1940. 650 0 World War, 1939-1945 |zPoland. 650 0 World War, 1939-1945 |xAtrocities. 650 0 Polish people |xCrimes against |zRussia (Federation) |zKatynʹ |xHistory |y20th century. 650 0 Prisoners of war |xCrimes against |zRussia (Federation) |zKatynʹ |xHistory |y20th century. 650 0 Victims of crimes |zPoland |vBiography. 650 0 Families |zPoland |vBiography. 650 6 Massacre de Katyn, Russie, 1940. |0(CaQQLa)201-0196041 650 6 Guerre mondiale, 1939-1945 |zPologne. |0(CaQQLa)201-0277139 650 6 Guerre mondiale, 1939-1945 |xAtrocités. |0(CaQQLa)201-0010198 650 6 Familles |0(CaQQLa)201-0076848 |zPologne |0(CaQQLa)201-0494059 |vBiographies. |0(CaQQLa)201-0378258 650 7 Atrocities. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst00820727 650 7 Families. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01728849 650 7 Polish people |xCrimes against. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01725861 650 7 Victims of crimes. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01166285 651 7 Poland. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01206891 651 7 Russia (Federation) |zKatynʹ. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01260809 650 7 Massaker. |2idszbz 651 7 Katyn. |2idszbz 650 7 Katyn Massacre, Katynʹ, Russia, 1940. |2nli 650 7 World War, 1939-1945 |zPoland. |2nli 650 7 World War, 1939-1945 |xAtrocities. |2nli 650 7 Polish people |xCrimes against |zRussia (Federation) |zKatyn |xHistory |y20th century. |2nli 650 7 Prisoners of war |xCrimes against |zRussia (Federation) |zKatyn |xHistory |y20th century. |2nli 650 7 Victims of crimes |zPoland |vBiography. |2nli 650 7 Families |zPoland |vBiography. |2nli 647 7 World War |d(1939-1945) |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01180924 647 7 Katyn Massacre |c(Katynʹ, Russia : |d1940) |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst00986495 648 7 1900-1999 |2fast 655 7 Collective biographies. |2aat |0(CMalG-V)300080111 655 7 Biographies. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01919896 655 7 History. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01411628 655 7 Biographies. |2lcgft 655 7 Biographies. |2rvmgf |0(CaQQLa)RVMGF-000000519 776 08 |iOnline version:Paul, Allen (M.
