- W111563074 abstract "On December 22, 1952, the U. S. House of Representatives' special committee to investigate the Katyn Forest Massacre issued its final report of the wartime slaughter of what we now know were nearly 22,000 Polish military officers, cadets, and police personnel held as prisoners in the Soviet Union since the Red Army's invasion of Poland in 1939, in conjunction with the secret protocols of the Nazi-Soviet Pact. Although the entire investigation, which spanned thirteen months, was conducted in a blatantly anti-Soviet Cold War atmosphere, the committee was remarkably thorough in its work: hundreds of classified Roosevelt Administration documents were studied and entered into the public record and over a hundred witnesses were questioned.1 The committee's verdict of Soviet guilt in the Katyn atrocity, which the report accurately placed as having occurred in the spring of 1940, surprised few who were familiar with the known details of the case. The evidence against Moscow, although circumstantial in nature, was overwhelming. Polish-Americans and exiled Poles everywhere voiced their appreciation of the judgment. Yet, despite the high hopes engendered by all those who sought justice for the heinous Katyn atrocity, precious little came of the fruits of the Congressional inquiry. A major press item during the often sensationalistic committee hearings, it was apparently quickly forgotten by the great bulk of Americans. When the committee's findings were presented to the United Nations for submission to the World Court, they were promptly filed away; the likelihood that the Soviet Union could be brought to justice for the mass execution of thousands of Polish officers was never seriously considered" @default.
