other camps in 1940 was one of the most notorious incidents of
the Second World War. The truth about the massacres was long
suppressed, both by the Soviet Union, and also by the United
States and Britain who wished to hold together their wartime
alliance with the Soviet Union.

It discusses how the truth about the killings was hidden, how it
gradually came to light and why the memory of the massacres has
long affected Polish-Russian relations.
