As in the case of the unexpected demise of any world leader, the death of Premier & General Władysław Sikorski in July 1943 gave rise to conspiracy theories.

On the right: the claim that (via Kim Philby) had him killed because he had demanded an explanation for the massacre

On the left, German dramatist Rolf Hochhuth claimed Churchill had him killed for being too close to the Soviets

Commuting from Jersey City meant I got to walk by the monument to the victims of the Katyn massacre every day and I promise you I paid my respects every time I passed it: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Katy%C5%. Some have said it was too gruesome. I on the other hand took pains to explain the history of fascism, communism, and authoritarianism of the previous century to my kids so they could understand exactly what was happening to the soldier getting stabbed, and why the woman was holding a dead child on the plaque under him.

If you don’t know the story, in 1940 the Soviets murdered twenty thousand Polish officers and buried them in mass graves in western Russia.

The twist tho. For decades the Soviets claimed it was the Nazis who carried out the atrocity. It wasn’t till Gorbachev revealed the truth that we all realized that Khrushchev was not joking when he denounced Stalin, and when a million western leftists’ minds exploded as they sought to reconcile this murderous cognitive dissonance.

The worst twist tho. After decades of being open about the history of the massacre, the Putin regime has returned to claiming the murder was carried out by Nazis 🤦 (this point used to be made prominently on Wikipedia but has since disappeared, though the source they cite for the downgrading of the memorial still says this).

Grover Furr in his book "The Mystery of the Massacre" lies about the archeological work of Dominika Siemińska. He specifically uses the findings related to two mass graves (no1 and no2) to "debunk" the findings of other mass graves. (no4 and no5)

Grover Furr back in 2018 deliberately omitted text from doctor Vincenzo Palmieri's testimony to the Madden Commission that showed he derived his own conclusions that were similar to doctor Ferenc Orsós. By doing so he can falsely allege that Sanford lied about Palmieri's statements.

Diese Tweets zu triggern mich gerade sehr. So sehr ich hoffe, dass sie sich als Fake erweisen, kann ich mir einfach nicht vorstellen, das sich jemand sowas ausdenkt.
