Stalin's Victims Unearthed

 

Remains of victims of the brutal Stalinist regime, which affected Poland post-WWII, were uncovered in a Wroclaw cemetery earlier this month. After Poland became a Soviet satellite persecutions of Poles, particularly the intelligentsia and nobility, were common by Stalin's Communist state which feared any kind of opposition. Many ironically were charged with liaising with the Germans and fascists, despite Poland total non-co-operation with the Nazis.

Geo-radar equipment discovered 350 bodies, which will be exhumed and buried in a mass grave.

Wow, what a sad story, that even over half a century later we're still finding victims of Stalin's brutality. Luckily this wasn't on the scale of Katyn, but imagine where Poland would be today if all the inteligensia hadn't been killed off by the Soviets...
