Remembering a forgotten massacre
Updated on 24 June 2009
The Katyn massacre saw over 20,000 Poles murdered by Soviet forces in WWII. But, as More4 News reports, only recently have the details been allowed to come to light.
Even now, it is a running sore between Poland and Russia, though it happened almost seven decades ago.
The Katyn massacre saw over 20,000 Poles killed in one of the darkest and most controversial incidents in the second world war.
Throughout the long years of communist rule, Polish people could not openly discuss the war crime.
Only recently can they properly commemorate it - or depict it in art.
Now a Polish film, just released in Britain, reignites this unresolved horror.
