Not many knew of the Katyn Forest Massacre, and while this attention is painful due to its cause, it is only fitting that the government of Poland show that even today, it stands in both grief and pride, for the sacrifices of so many.
Lest we ever forget.
May all the victims of tragedy - Requiescat In Pace

it what universe ? Unless you want to point out that the polish people knew less about their past than other countries knew about poland's
recent history. And the Katyn Massacre is not exactly unknown.
Man I learned about it when I was in junior high and then again in high school (I'm talking late '80 when the soviets were still deying their involvement).
It was an important episode in WW2.
