[B] With Blood on his Hands, Commissar Y. Raichman Ponders the Forest of the Dead at Katyn [/B]

A Nazi lie and Hitler's plot?— The forest sighs but gives no answers. Twelve thousand Polish officers rot, grandsons of Sobieski's lancers, reactionary anti-Semites, too dead to reach for thoughts or guns, or, in the fragrant dark of spring nights, to father patriotic sons.

—Leo Yankevich
