Timothy Snyder in "Bloodlands" estimates the number of victims as 10,000 on the whole area from Moldova to Estonia. The Germans used the crimes to instigate the pogroms, see "Rozstrzelać elementy kontrrewolucyjne!: brutalizacja wojny niemiecko-sowieckiej latem 1941 roku" by Bogdan Musial. (originally published in Germany) Lwow was dominated by Ukrainian nationalists in 1941, Polish professors (some of them politicians) were murdered at that time. Part of the Lwow pogroms was labelled "Petliura days" (.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lviv_pogroms_(1941)#%22Petliura_Days%22 ) and certainly the Poles would not have selected Petliura as their hero. Poles might have participated in ethnically Polish areas of Soviet Belarus.Jerzy Pankiewicznoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8471082069031980581.post-70382970281804007802022-10-31T04:34:56.905-04:002022-10-31T04:34:56.905-04:00As I have probably said many times before, but sad...As I have probably said many times before, but sadly it continues to need saying: All atrocities are equal, but some are more equal than others. And: All willing executioners are equal, but some are more equal than others.<br /><br />But it is not just the suffering of Eastern Europeans under both Hitler and Stalin that is disregarded - aren't most victims of most atrocities of very little importance to "the world"?<br /><br />They usually only matter when political points can be scored. And here there is a kind of negative because didn't the Movers and Shakers as a class (with honourable exceptions of course) adore Stalin. So its not so much that their victims have no political weight (though they have no political weight) , but more than that aren't they Politically Incorrect?<br /><br />They were killed by the wrong genocidal dictator! And in any case us Eastern Europeans are considered to be the wrong sort of people somehow.<br /><br />That at any rate is how it seems to me. And for sure I am not the fount of all wisdom, being a damaged child of disobedient Adam, living in a world system still ruled by "the father of the lie", Satan the devil. <br /><br />But the important thing, as you remind us in this blogpost, (thanks!), is that to our loving Creator, all lives matter. He is never swayed by the ever changing politics of "the world".<br /><br />And under the loving rule of the Kingdom of God, the whole earth will become a paradise of peace, truth and justice. And Jehovah assures us that the dead will not be forgotten at that time. He saw what happened to those people, he saw the gleeful cruelty of their murderers. And He will not awake them from the dreamless sleep of death until the whole earth is at peace.<br /><br />It will be such a joyful awakening when it comes. I hope you Danusha, Jan and me are there to welcome them back!sue knighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13416482546175572604noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8471082069031980581.post-7564713247401059342022-10-28T11:45:49.100-04:002022-10-28T11:45:49.100-04:00Thanks for this post.

Furthermore, I bet that Kielce and Jedwabne are better known, at least to Americans, than Katyn. It is not hard to figure out why. Mr. Jan Peczkishttps://jewsandpolesdatabase.orgnoreply@blogger.com
