Katyn

[Carto's Cutlass Supreme]

Hi Steve, to answer your original post, I just found this:

"The [1940] massacre of Polish officers in the Katyn forest may have been condemned at Nuremberg as a crime against humanity, yet the man who signed the order, NKVD official Petr Soprunenko, is living peacefully in Moscow as an old-age pensioner. So are Dmitri Kopylansky, Raul Wallenberg's MGB interrogator, and General Pavel Sudoplatov, Trotsky's murderer, to name just a few. Are we to forgive them all, without even a court hearing? Are we to accept what the world firmly rejected 45 years ago?

Hey, Carto!,

That's it! That is exactly what I recall reading some time ago!

You know, I was not sure if they were living in Russia or Israel. So, maybe your point about me confusing this story with Morel (Sack's Eye for an Eye) was indeed correct.

Oh well, thanks again!

Hi Folks,

I have a question for you all.

I'm sure many of you are familiar with Katyn.
Now, I recall (possibly, incorrectly), that some Jew had his signature on the order (to execute the Poles at Katyn), and that he is living on a pension right now (as opposed to being brought up on war crimes charges, as is the case with 90-100 year old Germans).

Is that indeed the case? Was a major signature Jewish?

Any info you can post is appreciated.

Steve

Hmmm.. I've read from multiple sources, http://www.corax.org/revisionism/docume ... order.html and wikipedia that there were only 6-7 signators, 2 of them jewish (Unless you count Joseph Djugashvili) - Kaganovich and Beria. Kaganovich also helped engineer the collectivisation of the farms in the Ukraine which resulted in around 7 million deaths in a few years. He died in 1991 I believe still living happily in Russia.
